Jewish settlements have been established in Seelow since the first half of the 18th century: the Schutzjude Wolff Levin is mentioned in 1737. In 1901, there were 20 Jewish people living in the town; a Jewish community was formed in 1830. Around 1800, Jewish families in the town bought a piece of land at the end of Hinterstrasse in order to establish a cemetery here. By 1876, 80 burials had taken place in the cemetery.
By 1910, there were only six Jewish inhabitants left in Seelow.

Jewish cemetery Wusterhausen/Dosse

The Jewish cemetery in Wusterhausen/Dosse, located directly on Klempowsee, was completely destroyed and made unrecognizable by overbuilding [GPS: 52.900425, 12.459218]. However, the cadastral documents show that the plot formed an approximate rectangle with an east-west orientation.

The site was probably enclosed by a fence or wall. However, the direction and arrangement of the gravestones is just as unknown as their number and the number of burials carried out.

The recovered fragments are made of sandstone and limestone, a common material for gravestones at the time.

Jewish life in Frankfurt's Ostend district was systematically destroyed between 1933 and 1945. The city administration and mostly the Secret State Police disenfranchised, persecuted and deported the Jews living in the district; most of them were murdered in the Shoah. And yet, immediately after the liberation of Frankfurt in spring 1945, Jewish life in Ostend made a cautious, albeit fragile, new start.

The community in Wandsbek, which had existed since the 17th century, buried its dead in the old K nigsreihe cemetery. After this was completely full, a new site was purchased in Jenfelder Stra e e (formerly Jenfelder Weg) and a cemetery was established there, initially for 388 graves. It was opened in the summer of 1877. In the same year, a mortuary, a Kohanim hall and an apartment for the cemetery caretaker were also built. The total area would have allowed an expansion to 1000 plots. Between 1887 and 1942, 143 bodies were buried in the cemetery.
