Mikveh of the old synagogue in Hamm/Sieg

As early as 1776, the Jews settled in Wittstock applied for their own burial place. Thereupon in the direction of Kyritz the "old God's Acre" was established, where from 1806 to 1862 altogether 36 grave places were established. However, this was only the front part of today's area.

The most famous department store in Beeskow was the clothing store F. Beermann. It was opened on April 26, 1860 by Felix Beermann. He handed it over to his son Hermann Beermann. He ran it with his wife Rosa, who took over the family business after his death. The Central Council of Jewish Women*Jews suggested to Rosa Beermann that she should not run such a business without a man. So on September 14, 1935, she married Ludwig Warschauer, who was a manufactured goods merchant, and ran the business with him.

Already in 1740 the first burial took place on the newly created cemetery, this had to be expanded in 1821. 1880 could be acquired the initially leased land by the municipality for sale.

Around 1825, the number of community members reached its peak of almost 140. As a result of the emigration that also began here, it declined to eight by 1910, the synagogue building was sold in 1921, and the following year the community dissolved. The last two Jews from Bützow were deported in 1942.
