Old Jewish cemetery (Lörrach)

As early as 1670, a cemetery could be established at the northern foot of the Schädelbergweg (Schützenwaldweg), where burials took place until 1902.

In 1934/35 the cemetery was severely damaged, in 1940 it was supposed to be leveled, after 1945 it was - as far as possible - restored (about 20 gravestones preserved, area 22.81 Ar). A notice board is available.

The cemetery was also shared by Jews of the surrounding area (Tumringen, Fischingen, and - until 1865 - churches). In 1891 the construction of a new Jewish cemetery was started directly at the municipal cemetery. This cemetery is occupied until today (area 20,11 Ar).

The Old Jewish Cemetery Lörrach is a protected cultural monument in the city of Lörrach in the district of Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg.
