Medieval Jewish Cemetery (Nuremberg)

The medieval Jewish community had a first cemetery in the 13th century, which was probably located in the area of the still existing "Judengasse". A few remains of this cemetery are still preserved by the fact that several stones were used, for example, in the construction of the Lorenzkirche and were rediscovered (today in the funeral hall of the cemetery on Schnieglinger Straße). This first cemetery was probably destroyed during the terrible persecution in 1298.
