The Old Jewish Cemetery in Děčín-Rozbělesy was established in 1891 in the vicinity of the Christian cemetery and St. Wenceslas Church. It was damaged during the German occupation and dissolved together with the Christian cemetery in 1952 after the Kovohutě company (now Constellium Extrusions Děčín s.r.o) had expanded onto the plots of both cemeteries.

The remains were exhumed and transferred together with the gravestones to a separate part of the municipal cemetery in the Folknářy üřy district.

In 1925, around 6,400 Jews lived in Ostend. Liberal, conservative and neo-orthodox Jews lived together here, as did immigrants from Eastern Europe from the 1880s onwards, with different rites and religious customs, which was also visible in everyday life and in the cityscape.

On September 5, 1907, the synagogue of the German-assimilated Orthodox Jewish community in Poznan, built by the Berlin architects Cremer & Wolffenstein in Moorish-Oriental style, was inaugurated. It offered space for 600 seated and 100 standing places for men and - on two side galleries - space for 600 women. At the time, 5,324 Jews lived in the city of Poznan, which corresponded to around 3.8% of the city's population. The building, which was built by the Jewish community for around 850,000 Reichsmark, was unusually imposing.
