Jewish cemetery (Weimar)

Complete profile
90

The Jewish cemetery was established in 1774 at the instigation of the court Jew Jacob Elkan. In 1775 it was first occupied by a deceased "little daughter" of Jacob Elkan. In 1805 Jacob Elkan was buried. In 1808 Gabriel Ulmann (1743-1816) added another plot to the cemetery area. After the last burial of Caroline Elkan in 1890, whose heirs moved to England, the cemetery fell into disrepair. Already in the early 1930s the gravestones - partly smashed - lay on the ground.
