Cemetery

The old cemetery was laid out around 1815 and occupied until 1888. No gravestones have been preserved today. The cemetery was closed in November 1938, expropriated, sold, leveled and used as garden land.

The Jewish cemetery, located outside the fortress walls of Terezín, was created shortly after the establishment of the ghetto and concentration camp on a site where Soviet soldiers had been buried after the First World War. Initially, the deceased Jews were buried in individual graves before the prisoners had to dig mass graves due to the high mortality rate caused by the terrible camp conditions.

The small cemetery site on Robert-Blum-Strasse in Opladen now only has around 20 gravestones, some of which show clear signs of weathering (destruction).As early as 1968, the city of Leverkusen had a memorial stone erected on the site bearing the following words:

In memory of the Jewish citizens of our city,

who lost their lives during the Nazi era from 1933 to 1945.

The Salzhausen Jewish cemetery was used until 1853. There is a memorial stone on the enclosed grounds that commemorates the former cemetery.

A very small cemetery, consisting of four brick walls (from the 16th century) with a small gate. The gravestones are from the period from 1811- 1846.

This Jewish cemetery on the wooded slope of the Schafsberg was only established in the 19th century. It is divided into an old and a new section. The new section is still used today.

Find it on Wikipedia under: Jüdischer Friedhof (Limburg an der Lahn)

The cemetery is located at the upper end of Beethovenstraße in the forest.

On Wikipedia you can find more information under the name: Jüdischer Friedhof (Lühnberg).

Accessibility: You can leave Lühnberg by car via Triftweg and cross the B49 federal highway. Once you arrive at a large turning area, you can also park your car. Then follow the eastern forest path (if you are coming from the bridge, it is the one on the right) on foot for just a few meters and you will be right in front of the cemetery.

Jewish settlements have been established in Seelow since the first half of the 18th century: the Schutzjude Wolff Levin is mentioned in 1737. In 1901, there were 20 Jewish people living in the town; a Jewish community was formed in 1830. Around 1800, Jewish families in the town bought a piece of land at the end of Hinterstrasse in order to establish a cemetery here. By 1876, 80 burials had taken place in the cemetery.
By 1910, there were only six Jewish inhabitants left in Seelow.
