New Jewish Cemetery

For the creation of a new cemetery in 1871 a piece of land was purchased near the then shooting house. Since 1873, the cemetery site, located on a slope, was laid out. In 1878 the first burial took place. This cemetery still serves the community as a burial ground. The plot covers about 100 ares and is surrounded by a sturdy wall with wooden fence on the road.
  
From the entrance to the cemetery, an avenue of trees leads straight to the mourning hall (Tahara Hall, a large brick building with a dome and Star of David; there are currently - with a notice stone - still 28 rescued stones from the cemetery on Cyriakstraße, including medieval ones; the stones will be returned there in connection with the reconstruction of the old cemetery). To the left in front of the mourning hall is the memorial stone unveiled on September 12, 1948 for the community members murdered from 1933-1945, with the inscription "In silent memory of our murdered brothers and sisters 1933-1945." To the right and left of the large entrance portal to the mourning hall there is a memorial stone with the names of the soldiers who died in the First World War from the Jewish community. 
 
To the left and right of the main avenue of the cemetery are two large main sections of the cemetery with over 800 graves. In both - divided by paths and hedges several times - departments are old and newer graves. In front of the path of the left field there are about 95 children's graves. On the left field, separated by a hedge, lies the youngest part of the cemetery, which has been occupied since the mid-1930s until today.
