In the city cemetery there was a äolder Jewish cemetery in one corner. The district was called "the Judenecke".

The new cemetery is located between Muskauer Stra;e and Jan Skala Stra;e,  on the northöeastern outskirts of the city. Out of town about 500 m behind the intersection Muskauer Straße/Gesundbrunnenring leads a narrow path on the left directly to the entrance of the cemetery.

The cemetery is located just outside the village on a slope in the forest. The site is about 500 m² large. The FH was founded in the 17th century and occupied until 1921. The cemetery has been used again and again, even in more recent times.

Flamersheim is a small village, which today belongs to Euskirchen. Jews settled here in the middle of the 16th century. The communities of Kirchheim and Flamersheim, at least during the Jewish settlement, almost formed a single unit. From 1874 Flamersheim had a synagogue, which was also attended by the Kirchheim Jews. The synagogue was destroyed in 1938 and demolished a little later. A Torah scroll could be saved.

The new Jewish cemetery was established next to the Christian cemetery on Talstra&szlig. There are still 19 gravestones preserved today. The oldest gravestone dates from 1901, the last burial took place in 1939.

The Jüdische cemetery on Scheffelstrasse was first occupied in 1858. It was used until 1900. Today there are still 53 gravestones. From about 1900 the cemetery in the Talstrasse was occupied

The Jewish cemetery is located  at the Zengelsberg.

It was occupied from 1834 to 1937. There are still 37 gravestones there today. During the Second World War prisoners of war were also buried there. They were later reburied.

"In the Jewish cemetery, on the 50th anniversary of the "Reichskristallnacht", a memorial was dedicated to the expelled and murdered members of the former Jewish community."

Editor's note:

This is a quotation instead of the term "Reichskristallnacht" the term Novemberprogrome is used today.

"The date of construction of the cemetery is not known. As early as 1854, the political community approved its expansion, but forbade the enclosure, in order to continue to allow the grazing of cattle. In 1860/61, the cemetery grounds were again enlarged and enclosed, after between 1840 and 1860, ten adults and two children had been buried on the previous grounds. The Jewish cemetery exists to this day.
