Online Archive of Jewish Cemeteries

The first medieval cemetery was located in the lower Sandstrasse. He was created in the 14th century and cleared in the late 15th century. During reconstruction work on a house some years ago old gravestones, which were used as floor slabs, are said to have been found.

From 1556 to 1851, the Jews in Bamberg had no cemetery of their own. They had to bury their dead first in Zeckendorf, from the middle of the 17th century in Walsdorf.

The new Jewish cemetery of Bad Bentheim was first used in 1874. It is located in the city at the Hilgenstiege. There are still 45 gravestones preserved.

The old Jewish cemetery was probably established in the middle of the 17th century on the Osterberg, near the current open-air stage. A very contemplative and almost romantic place.

The cemetery was used (according to Wikipedia) from 1754 nis 1902 and has - after extensions in the 19th century - an area of 602 m2.

Eight gravestones from the period between about 1820 and 1870, mossy mounds indicate another about 21 graves. The preserved grave signs are artistically as well as from the material quality above average.

Apparently the cemetery was vandalized some years ago: 3 of the 8 stelae show traces of professional repair.

Small stones on some gravestones testify that these graves are visited.

About 220 gravestones are preserved in the cemetery, inscriptions from about 1630 to 1936, but the cemetery existed at least since the 15th century. After an expansion around 1900, a tahara hall with a low dome was built. The new part of the cemetery was surrounded with a high brick wall. Part of the enclosure and the hall were demolished around 1982.

The cemetery was damaged during the occupation, it fell into disrepair after the war and was rebuilt and maintained by an association after 2001.

The cemetery is located about two kilometers east of the village center in a wooded area. It is said to have been created in 1838, but the oldest gravestone dates from 1829.

Until 1868, the Jews of Geldern also buried their dead here. The last to be buried here was Moritz Lebenstein in 1931.

Today there are still 25 gravestones in the cemetery, some of them very weathered.

The Jewish Cemetery Hemsbach is a Jewish cemetery in Hemsbach, a town in the Rhine-Neckar district in northern Baden-Württemberg. The cemetery is a cultural monument worthy of protection. The Jewish cemetery of Hemsbach was established in 1674. It is located east of the village on the Mühlweg. The dead from the villages in the area were also buried here.

Since the early 17th century, Jewish families can be traced in Anholt, a small town on the Lower Rhine.

A synagogue in the town was consecrated in 1831. It fell victim to the war.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish community disappeared due to emigration from Anholt.

The cemetery at the Dwarsefeld was used from the beginning of the 19th century. The last burial took place in 1934.

Today there are still 17 gravestones on the site

The cemetery, first mentioned in 1804, may have originated as early as the 17th or 18th century.  After 1933 - and especially in the wake of the 1938 pogroms - it was repeatedly desecrated, and in 1950-52 some gravestones were put back in place. It was not until 2006 that a group of students from the local gymnasium began a thorough restoration: stones were placed as far as possible, gravestone debris was collected, and the entire site was restored to a suitably dignified condition.

The cemetery was established in 1819/20, today there are about 300 graves preserved, plus the Tahara Hall.  The graves occupy only the third of the walled cemetery far from the entrance. The entrance gate is closed, the enclosing wall can be overlooked at various points.
