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.

The Jewish cemetery in Wusterhausen/Dosse, located directly on Klempowsee, was completely destroyed and made unrecognizable by overbuilding [GPS: 52.900425, 12.459218]. However, the cadastral documents show that the plot formed an approximate rectangle with an east-west orientation.

The site was probably enclosed by a fence or wall. However, the direction and arrangement of the gravestones is just as unknown as their number and the number of burials carried out.

The recovered fragments are made of sandstone and limestone, a common material for gravestones at the time.

A Jewish community was only founded very late in Wittenberge, but a Jewish cemetery had already existed there for a long time. A section of the Christian town cemetery on Perleberger Strasse was demarcated on the northern edge, which served as a special burial ground for Jewish burials.

The community in Wandsbek, which had existed since the 17th century, buried its dead in the old K nigsreihe cemetery. After this was completely full, a new site was purchased in Jenfelder Stra e e (formerly Jenfelder Weg) and a cemetery was established there, initially for 388 graves. It was opened in the summer of 1877. In the same year, a mortuary, a Kohanim hall and an apartment for the cemetery caretaker were also built. The total area would have allowed an expansion to 1000 plots. Between 1887 and 1942, 143 bodies were buried in the cemetery.

The New Jewish Cemetery in the Folknářy district was built to replace the Jewish cemetery in the Rozbělesy district of Děčín, which was closed in 1952 as part of the expansion of the industrial area. The remains from this cemetery were exhumed and transferred together with the gravestones to the New Jewish Cemetery in Děčín-Folknářy, which was part of the municipal cemetery (Volksanger). The Jewish area on the Volksanger was completely cleared around 1970.

The Old Jewish Cemetery in Děčín-Rozbělesy was established in 1891 in the vicinity of the Christian cemetery and St. Wenceslas Church. It was damaged during the German occupation and dissolved together with the Christian cemetery in 1952 after the Kovohutě company (now Constellium Extrusions Děčín s.r.o) had expanded onto the plots of both cemeteries.

The remains were exhumed and transferred together with the gravestones to a separate part of the municipal cemetery in the Folknářy üřy district.
