Jewish cemetery (Münster)

Complete profile
100

The medieval cemetery of the Jewish community of Münster was located on the outskirts of the city on the grounds of the Paulinum Gymnasium. After the plague pogroms against the Jews in the Middle Ages, the cemetery was leveled. A last remnant of this cemetery is a memorial stone from 1324, which is located in the synagogue of Münster's Jewish community. It is the oldest surviving Jewish gravestone in Westphalia.
