Old Jewish Cemetery (Brunswick)

The Old Jewish Cemetery in Braunschweig is a historic cemetery on Hamburger Straße north of the Schützenplatz. The cemetery was established around 1800 and was largely replaced as a burial place by the Jewish Cemetery on Helmstedter Straße at the beginning of the 20th century. The listed site is surrounded on two sides (north and east) by a 1.5 meter high wall made of limestone. The other two sides are bordered by a fence. There are about 900 graves in the cemetery. It belongs to the Jewish Community of Braunschweig, which has its community center and synagogue in Steinstraße.
