"The cemetery "An der Höhne", which is said to date back to 1767, is about 1000 m²  large and today includes 25 gravestones from 1831 to 1934, plus two plinths without gravestone. The majority of the inscriptions have been traced with black paint. Noteworthy is the image of a butterfly in numerous pediments. In 2010 a memorial plaque with the names of 41 expelled or murdered Jews from Bremervörde was placed in the cemetery. The cemetery is in a well-kept condition.

Location:

The Jewish cemetery of Waren covers an area of about 1000 square meters on Papenbergstrasse north of the city center. The site was purchased by the Jewish community from the city in 1846. Presumably, there was already a cemetery before, and the purchase only expanded the old cemetery.

Gabriel Michelbacher was a member of the Israelite Religious Administration for over 44 years. From 1884  he was a board member of the Israelite Kultusverwaltung for 33 years. In 1909 Gabriel Michelbacher celebrated his 25th anniversary as a Kultusvorstand of the Israelite community.

"In the then Hamburg office Ritzebüttel - today part of the city of Cuxhaven - the first Jews settled around the middle of the 18th century, a few years later, about 1760 arose in the Brockeswald their Begräbnisplatz, which already had to be expanded in 1818. Around 1800 the ‚Israelitische Gemeinde zu Ritzebüttel’ was constituted, which built its own synagogue in 1815/16.

The pictures are taken from the "Verzeichnis der in der Hochfürstlichen Residenzstadt Oettingen unter der Juden-Gemeinde in dem verflossenen 1800. Jahr Neugebohrenen, Copulierten und Verstorbenen"

In the list of members of the Society of Israeliten-Eintracht, which was laid out at the time of its foundation, the name of Abraham Michelbacher is also found. As his profession is indicated - soap boiler master. In a letter of April 27, 1849 to the city magistrate - proposal and request of the Israelite Cultus Administration for permission to establish a burial ground, the name of  Abraham Michelbacher is also found as one of the six signed members of the Israelite Cultus Administration.
