Tombstones of the medieval cemetery ("Judensteine") can be found, among others. in Riegeldorf (from 1240, 1249), in Kelheim (from 1249), in Mintraching (1294, Catholic rectory, garden), Wolkering (wall around the church, right of the gate), Mangolding (Catholic church, left of the entrance), Tegernheim (Catholic rectory, right of the entrance), Karthaus-Prüll, Cham (town hall, stone from 1230, see page on Cham), Straubing, Neustadt a.d. Donau. A stone from 1273 was discovered in 1929 in the terrace of the new parish church (Neupfarrkirche) built on the site of the synagogue in 1519. Many gravestones were probably installed in this church. The Bavarian National Museum in Munich owned stones from 1312 and 1349. In Regensburg itself there are numerous gravestones of the 13th and 14th century (among others street Am Judenstein, near the Realschule am Judenstein; in the floor of the cathedral cloister, in the street front Minoritenweg 14, the houses Neupfarrplatz 7; 19 stones are in the Municipal Museum). In total, about 60 gravestones have become known so far.
