Jewish cemetery Bothfeld (Hannover)

Complete profile
100

The cemetery of the Jewish community of Hanover was established in 1924, after the cemetery "An der Strangriede", which served 60 years in as a burial ground, reached its capacity. The mourning hall, built in 1929, was designed by Werner Koech. In 1938 the cemetery was desecrated. The mourning hall was destroyed by arson. In 1945, more than 300 urns containing the ashes of Jewish concentration camp prisoners were interred. The cemetery land was acquired by the then post-war community in 1959. In 1960, a new mourning hall was built according to a design by Zvi Guttmann.
