Cemetery

In Dachau, Jewish dead are also buried in the concentration camp burial ground in the northern part of the Dachau Forest Cemetery and in the Leitenberg Concentration Camp Cemetery of Honor in the Etzenhausen district.

Location: The Jewish cemetery in Burgkunstadt is located about one kilometer north of the city center on Ebnether Berg in the forest. With almost 15000 square meters, it is one of the ten largest closed Jewish cemeteries in Bavaria. The cemetery was established in 1620 and extended several times. Today, about 2000 gravestones are still preserved.

The concentration camp cemetery and memorial at the Powder Tower is located within the town of Burghausen. The park-like planted area is divided into four large fields with symbolic gravestones bearing either Stars of David or crosses. The concentration camp victims resting here were from the Mettenheim subcamp near Mühldorf.

Here existed from the early Middle Ages until 1634/35 a Jewish community, which grew strongly in the 16th century and therefore found mention. It had a synagogue and a cemetery where Jews from the entire area were buried. Field names such as "Judenmahd" and "Judenweg" testify to the presence of Jews in the former county of Burgau. The name "Am Judenbegräbnis" (At the Jewish Burial Ground), which is still valid today in the Burgau district, clearly points to the cemetery. The community died out after the plague years of 1634/35 during the Thirty Years War.

A Jewish community probably existed here from the 15th to the 17th century. It owned a cemetery in the field district "Judenkirchhof". It was located southeast of Bissingen at today's edge of town; however, the exact location can no longer be determined.

A Jewish religious community probably existed here from the 15th to the 17th century. It owned a cemetery in the field district "Judenkirchhof". It was located southeast of Bischofsheim at the present edge of the village in the area between today's Lindenstraße = former Judenfriedhofsweg, Metzenbachweg and Ahornstraße; however, the exact location can no longer be determined.

In the cemetery next to the Catholic church to the right of the mortuary is the memorial. The memorial stone bears the inscription: "Here rest 164 victims of National Socialism + 1945 hounded to death / recovered in peace / reburied in June 1957 to Flossenbürg".

There is a Jewish burial ground with a monument in the municipal cemetery in Bad Wörishofen, St. Anna Straße. The cemetery was established after the end of the war. Victims from the Landsberg/Kaufering concentration camp complex who died in the DP hospital in Bad Wörishofen after the end of the war were buried here.

In the cemetery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bad Steben, there is a memorial over a gravesite of unknown prisoners of Buchenwald concentration camp.

In Staffelstein there was a Jewish community in the 15th century. In the course of their expulsion in 1506, it was stated in the description of a Jewish residence that to it belonged "the courtyard, on which ettlich Iüden have been buried". The existence of a Jewish cemetery in the city is therefore considered certain.
