Jewish cemetery (Gotha)

The Jewish Cemetery is a cemetery of the city of Gotha in the district of Gotha in Thuringia.

Around 1870 (or shortly before) the Jewish community acquired a plot of land for the establishment of a new cemetery on Eisenacher Straße, where the burials of the deceased were now carried out. Until 1942, about 172 gravesites were laid out in two grave fields. The oldest gravestone is from 1878. The last gravestone is from 1940, but after that seven more burials were made until 1942. In 1982 the cemetery hall, which had been standing until then, was demolished. At their location there is a memorial stone since 1988.
