Complete profile

The Jewish cemetery Esens is located outside the historic center of Esens on the Mühlenweg. It is open to the public. The cemetery has not been used since the demise of the associated community at the time of National Socialism. The local Nazis desecrated the cemetery either in November 1938 or in 1940, completely destroying the site.[1] All that remained were the fragments of thirteen gravestones, which have since been reinstalled on the site.

The Old Jewish Cemetery on Oberstraße in Hanover is the oldest preserved Jewish cemetery in northern Germany. It is located in the northern part of the city on a dune hill surrounded by a high wall. The cemetery was established around 1550 and served as a burial place for Hanoverian Jews until 1864, the year the Jewish Cemetery An der Strangriede was opened. With its approximately 700 preserved gravestones, it is an important historical site for the history of Hanoverian Jews.
