Cemetery

The first indication of the cemetery are maps from 1680, which show a short branch channel on the Lippe, which was probably dug for the extraction of earth with which the site was fortified. On the map of Johann Peter Roscher from 1776 it can be seen that the cemetery had already grown up to the Burgmühle by then. A further enlargement did not take place and until its abandonment the area measured 2.85 acres.

The 300 sqm large cemetery is hidden in the industrial area „Im Köhl“ at the junction of „Auf der Koppel“ with Wienbachstra&szlig. The cemetery „Auf der Koppel“ was bought in 1838  by Abraham Moises. The cemetery was destroyed during the Nazi period, all gravestones are missing. Eight Gräber show a stone border.

The memorial stone at the entrance was designed by Sister Paula (= Tisa von der Schulenburg, Ursulinerin):  "To the memory of our Jüdischen Mitbürger, who became victims of the tyranny in the years 1933-1945.

The newest of the three Pirmasens Jewish cemeteries is part of the municipal forest cemetery. In four rows so far 64 gravestones lie in the grave field 6, the shortest accessible über the entrance pavilion. This Jewish cemetery was established in 1927 and is still occupied today. Some graves are ornate, but most of the stones are in a simple triangular shape, which were set before the Nazi era and even after the war. Where this shape of gravestones comes from is unclear.

The Jewish cemetery on Ottostra&szlig is part of the city's Old Cemetery. The Jewish part was established in 1878, when the Jewish community in Pirmasens had grown strongly and the space in the cemetery in Zeppelinstraße was no longer sufficient. Burials took place until the cemetery was closed in 1927 and again in 1933. The original 150 or so graves, some of them very ornate, were almost completely destroyed during the Nazi regime and a pond and a fire shed were built on the grounds. After the war, 17 rescued gravestones could be reinstalled in a row along the cemetery wall.

The Jewish cemetery on Zeppelinstrasse is the oldest Jewish cemetery in Pirmasens. It was established in 1813 and closed in 1876. Today there are 95 gravestones on 1360 square meters on a slope on 4 levels. Originally the entrance was from Gefäller Weg, where you can still see the remains of the former entrance. Today the cemetery is entered from Zeppelin Street. The cemetery gate is locked, the key to it can be borrowed from the garden and cemetery office.

The Jewish Cemetery Wingst is a Jewish cemetery in the municipality of Wingst (joint municipality Land Hadeln) in the district of Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony. The Jewish cemetery in the Wingst was the burial site for the synagogue community of Neuhaus(Oste) and surrounding places

The Jewish cemetery between Wickrath and Wanlo was probably occupied during the 19th and 20th centuries. The estimated 721m² burial area was fully occupied when the site was acquired by a farmer in 1939 and leveled. The leveled burial ground is no longer recognizable as such today. Gravestones are not preserved. 

On site, a memorial stone on the field path between Stahlenend and Hochneukircher Weg reminds of the former Jewish cemetery. 

The site is now a registered ground monument.
