Judensand (Mainz)
The Judensand is one of the ältesten Jüdischen Friedhöfe Europe. A tombstone found there dates to the year 1049 - it is exhibited with permission of the Jüdische Gemeinde Mainz in the Landesmuseum Mainz.
With the banishment of the Jüdinnen*Juden from Mainz in 1438, the cemetery was destroyedürt and partly used as a vineyard. Gravestones were used as building material for buildings in the city.
From about 1700, part of the medieval cemetery area was again used for Jewish burials. It is the lower part, which borders on the Mombacher Straß.
Jewish cemetery (Röbel (Müritz))
Near the old city Röbel is said to have been already around the year 1200 a Jewish cemetery. However, reliable data are missing.
As a cemetery in 1700 an area of about 33 square meters on the Mirower Straße, in front of the former city wall, was purchased and some decades later eingezäunt. At the beginning of the 19th century, due to the increasing number of members of the community, the cemetery had to be extended, as the area was no longer sufficient for burials. Records of the burials have not been preserved. The last burial took place in 1937.
Historical mikvah "Jewish bath
"Judenbad" is the local name for the Friedberg mikvah. With its 25 meters depth and a square cross-section of 5.5 x 5.5 meters, it is the largest and most impressive mikveh in Germany. It is one of the few monumental mikvahs preserved from the Middle Ages.
Since only "living water," such as groundwater, is needed for a ritual bath, the shaft runs vertically through the basalt rock on which the town of Friedberg stands. The water can rise to a maximum of five meters and has a temperature of about 7.5°C.

Jewish cemetery (Rimbeck)
The Jüdische cemetery Rimbeck was created in 1875, but probably already occupied since 1870 and then used until 1933.
On the approximately 1,300 m² large cemetery have been buried 65 Jews, including the journalist Felix Fechenbach. Most of the graves date from around 1900, and there is no information about the number of preserved gravestones.
Today it is a monument.

Concentration camp cemetery Welzheim
Jewish cemetery Wankheim
Immediately after moving to Wankheim in 1776, four to five Jewish families leased a site outside the village. The site was and is located on the boundary of the district near today's B28 in the area "Schinderklinge". The name indicates that slaughterhouse waste had previously been disposed of there.
The annual rent was three gulden plus for each adult burial two gulden and each child under 14 years one gulden. Only after protracted negotiations could the site be acquired by the Jewish community on March 7,1845, in return for a payment of 200 gulden.
