Chodová Planá/Kuttenplan is a small village approx. 8 km südlich Mariánskě Lázné/Marienbad

When in 1686 the Jews were expelled from Planá/Plan, some families found refuge in neighboring Kuttenplan, where Jews must already have been residentäsig, since the first mention of a synagogue there dates from 1645.

Around the middle of the 18th century, more than 20 Jewish families are said to have lived in Kuttenplan, and around 1750 they replaced the old synagogue with a new building. Around 1770 their number had grown to more than 30 families.

The Jewish cemetery Essentho is located away from the village on the Fürstenberger Stra&szlig. It was used from 1830 to 1937. Jews from Essentho, but also from the surrounding communities were buried.

In 1922, the cemetery on Wassenbergstrasse was fully occupied, the following burials took place on the new burial ground. It is located in the municipal cemetery on Mühlenweg.

Füfor the last dead in this cemetery, no more gravestones were allowed to be erected. Henriette Levi and Eugen Mehler killed themselves to avoid being deported to a concentration camp. Since 1988, a memorial stone commemorates these two dead. 

The first Jüdische cemetery in the city of Emmerich was established in 1629 in the west of the city on the Rhine between the city wall and the moat. This cemetery was used for almost 200 years.

In 1825, the city forced the Jüdische community to abandon the cemetery because the area was needed to expand the harbor. The bones were exhumed in 1825 and moved together with the associated gravestones to the new cemetery on Wassenbergstrasse.

The exact location of the old cemetery can only be approximated. Probably it was located under the present customs office.
