Bernhard Wiesengrund was born on January 1, 1801 in Dettelbach in Lower Franconia. The parents were Beritz David and Serie Wiesengrund from Dettelbach. The grandfather was Jüdlein David, cattle dealer in Dettelbach. Bernhard Wiesengrund founded a wine shop in Frankfurt at Schönen Aussicht 7. Presumably, the wine shop was passed on to his son David Theodor Wiesengrund (wine and tea merchant), because later his son Oscar Wiesengrund continued the wine business at Schönen Aussicht 7 ".

In 1873 [!] the Jewish community of Meiningen was able to create its own burial ground on the north side of today's municipal cemetery. The first burial was in 1889. The cemetery area covers about 25,00 ares. There are about 130 gravestones in total. Among the buried are also some of the former land rabbis of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen. More recent graves of the 20th century are located in the upper part of the cemetery. The last burial was in 1944.(Alemannia Judaica)

"A look at the map of Südthüringen shows here a special density of places where evidence of Jüdic life has been preserved. [...] Place names künden of the Jüdischen Händlern and Schmusern, as the Krämer and Geschäftevermittler ... were called. Thus, today's highway A 71 between Meiningen-Nord and Meiningen-Süd üd over the Judentalbrücke. Through this valley traditionally moved jüdische Kleinhändler." (Eike Küstner)
