Jewish Cemetery An der Strangriede

The Jewish Cemetery An der Strangriede in Hanover is the second of three Jewish cemeteries in the capital of Lower Saxony. After the closure of the Old Jewish Cemetery on Oberstraße, it was opened in 1864. Until 1924 it was the main cemetery of the Jewish Community of Hanover. With the brick building of the sermon hall and about 2,600 preserved gravestones, the cemetery is an important historical site for the history of Hanoverian Jews.
