The Haus der Bayrischen Geschichte

The rather large plot is located on the federal road 12 Pocking-Simbach about 4 km southwest of Pocking.Steps and a ramp in the middle lead down to a large rectangle surrounded by a high stone wall. There are several benches at the memorial. The inscription in the center of the monument reads: "To the victims of National Socialist tyranny 1933-1945", the one on either side: "The 95 concentration camp prisoners formerly buried here now rest in the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Cemetery of Honor".

The Jewish cemetery is located in the center of Pfaffenhausen, not far from the church, on a gently north-facing slope. He has a size of over 12000 square meters and was created around 1580. Further use was prohibited in July 1938.

Jews are mentioned in Pegnitz in 1455 and in the 16th and 17th centuries several times in documents. Known were the so-called "Judengrüber" in the plan no. 1535a on the slope to the right of the road leading from Pegnitz to the district of Rosenhof; the two gravestones, which, however, for some time can no longer be found.

In Passau existed perhaps already at the end of the 1st millennium a Jewish community, which is mentioned documentarily however only 1204 and then again and again, so e.g. 1210, 1244 or 1260. They possibly buried their deceased in Regensburg. This is indicated by a document of 1311, according to which the Counts of Hals, keeper of Vilshofen, offered to escort the Passau Jews to Straubing for a fee of half a Passau penny and one pound of pepper for each dead person or one pound of pepper for each living person.

A section in the community forest of Oberkotzau bears the designation "Judenbegräbnis", which perhaps refers to a former cemetery. A late medieval Jewish community could be supported by the fact that in 1444 Emperor Frederick III granted the lords of (Ober)Kotzau permission to hold a weekly market and "das sy auch juden daselbst gehaben mugen" (Regesta Imperii, Chmel No. 1812). Further evidence of the existence of a synagogue cannot be verified at present.

The cemetery in the Bärenschanzstraße was inaugurated in 1864 and closed in 1922.

In Neustadt existed from the 14th century until 1684 a Jewish community. Among its facilities (still preserved is the building of the yeshiva in the house Freyung 23 and the building of the mikvah Freyung 25) also belonged to a cemetery, which is mentioned in a document in 1621. It was located behind the southern row of houses on Freyung. Today there are gardens here.

The cemetery is located at Plattenberg in the direction of Amberg/Schwarzenfeld. The way is partly signposted. He was created in the years 1946/47 as a concentration camp cemetery, also "Jewish cemetery" for 615 prisoners of the Flossenbürg concentration camp, who had fallen victim to a death march.

The concentration camp cemetery is located on the B 299 in the direction of Mühldorf about 200 m behind the end of the village. A hedge surrounds the park-like area with deciduous trees and ornamental shrubs. On the left gatepost is the inscription: "Last resting place of 392 victims of National Socialism + April 1945", on the right gatepost: "Do not pass by wanderer - that love erases / what hate has done".

The Jewish cemetery in the city of Neumarkt is located on Gießereistraße. It has an area of almost 1000 square meters and was established in 1879/1880.
