Finally, the East Cemetery was co-occupied, where Jews were buried within various sections (Dept. B: Halpern family), Dept. E: Biermann family, Dept. I: Hirsch family). Several graves of former Jewish residents, including the resting place of the Salomon family, are found in Section VIe. The members of the family jointly chose suicide on September 18, 1941: Dr. Oscar Salomon 1863-1941, Martha Salomon 1873-1941 and Dr. Hans Salomon 1898-1941). Next to the grave of the Salomon family are several Jewish graves.

In Gera there was no Jewish cemetery of its own. Jewish people who died in the city were either buried in Jewish cemeteries outside the city or in the municipal cemeteries of the city.  Thus, until shortly after 1885, several Jewish deceased were buried in the old, then closed Trinitatisf cemetery. This cemetery has been dissolved and a park has taken its place. Before the cemetery was closed there were three Jewish graves here. Today there are only two non-Jewish gravestones.

Already in the Middle Ages there was a synagogue ("Judenschule") (named in 1502). 
In the second half of the 19th century, a synagogue (temple) was established (after 1885) in Leipziger Strasse  
. After the end of the First World War, services were held in a back building (upper floor of a side wing) of the then hotel "Kronprinz" on Rossplatz (later "Square of the Republic"). In addition, there were prayer rooms of various Orthodox movements, a larger one (Orthodox synagogue) until 1938 in Hospitalstraße.
