"The oldest Jewish cemetery was located on the Helenenberg and was officially opened in 1867, but was closed again in 1900, as it could no longer be expanded.
It was leveled during the National Socialist era.
Today there is only a memorial stone on the site.
The other remaining tombstones were partly put up again on the Ledderken cemetery." (Klaus Wupper, 1/2022)

Flamersheim is a small village, which today belongs to Euskirchen. Jews settled here in the middle of the 16th century. The communities of Kirchheim and Flamersheim, at least during the Jewish settlement, almost formed a single unit. From 1874 Flamersheim had a synagogue, which was also attended by the Kirchheim Jews. The synagogue was destroyed in 1938 and demolished a little later. A Torah scroll could be saved.
