In the Ännchenstrasse in Bad Godesberg there are 33 gravestones in a surrounding plot. It is not actually a Jewish cemetery. The stones were discovered after 1950 on the slopes of the Gosesberg. It is possible that the stones come from an older cemetery that was occupied until 1895.

The Ännchenstrasse is named after Ännchen Schumacher, the "Lindenwirtin". She played a major role in student life.
