On March 3, 1887 the old cemetery at Friedenthal was inaugurated. It borders on the west with the municipal cemetery. It is fully occupied with 366 graäbers and has not been used since 1942.

The Jüdische cemetery of Schüttorf is located at the Samernsche Strasse  in a small forest. It was used in the 17th century for burials. It still has 19 gravestones today. Jews settled in Schüttorf probably as early as 1700. The community always had only a few Jewish families. They belonged to the synagogue community of Bad Bentheim.

There are 50 gravestones in the cemetery. The memorial stone was erected by Mottel Schwarz, a survivor of the Shoah.

The cemetery is located on Görlitzer Straße (B 99), on the northöeastern edge of the city. Coming from Görlitz you cross a traffic circle with the turnoff to the B178 (to Löbau and Bautzen). Immediately behind it on the right (western) side of the road is the cemetery.

A Jewish cemetery must have existed in Schermbeck already in the middle of the 17th century, in the church records of the Protestant church several Jews are mentioned who were buried in Schermbeck.

It is not clear whether it was the same cemetery that exists today at the „Bösenberg“. The present cemetery is located in a residential area. There are 31 rather plain stones, also two memorial stones for people who were murdered in camps.

The traces of Nathan Jakob Homburger's ancestors can be traced back in Karlsruhe to the year 1722, when the great-grandson Löw Homburger, born in 1694 in Homburg, received a letter of protection on July 30, 1722 from Margrave Carl of Baden. 4 generations later, Nathan Jakob Homburger laid the foundation for the flour, produce and colonial goods wholesale business. Ferdinand Homburger, the only son of the married couple Nathan Jakob and Babette Homburger, née Baer, later followed in his father's footsteps. With his marriage he became a partner in the business in December 1890.

Due to the East-West division of the city of Berlin, the Jewish community of Berlin was also divided into East and West. This meant for the Jews in the western part of the city: a new cemetery had to be built. In the north-western part of Grunewald, which here borders on Heerstr., an area of about 3.4 hectares was purchased in 1955 for the construction of a cemetery. This was consecrated in 1956 and until today über 5.000 burials took place here.

Only a memorial plaque, the restored grave of Moses Mendelssohn and some exhibited historic gravestones reminds today of this Jewish cemetery and its destruction by the National Socialists.After the Judenkiewer Spandau (1314 documentary mentioned)[see link], the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Mitte is the älteste of the Berlin Jewish community. Today located in the center of the city, the cemetery was established and consecrated in 1672, well before the site. Exact document numbers are not clearly ascertainable.
