Cemetery

In 1873 [!] the Jewish community of Meiningen was able to create its own burial ground on the north side of today's municipal cemetery. The first burial was in 1889. The cemetery area covers about 25,00 ares. There are about 130 gravestones in total. Among the buried are also some of the former land rabbis of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen. More recent graves of the 20th century are located in the upper part of the cemetery. The last burial was in 1944.(Alemannia Judaica)

The Jewish cemetery Essentho is located away from the village on the Fürstenberger Stra&szlig. It was used from 1830 to 1937. Jews from Essentho, but also from the surrounding communities were buried.

In the working-class district of Segeroth in Essen, the Jewish cemetery was opened in 1885 as part of the Essen municipal cemetery. Burials were still held here until 1991. There are still about 700 gravestones today.

The cemetery on Schulzstrasse is part of the Essen Park Cemetery in the district of Huttrop. It was founded in 1931 and is used until today by the Jewish community.

On the cemetery is a stele in memory of the victims of the Nazi era. 

About 30 stones from the old cemetery on Lazarettstrasse are on this cemetery.

The cemetery at the Lanterstrasse is located in the district Huttrop. He was first occupied in 1766 and closed in 1855. There are still 2 tombstones and a memorial stele preserved today. 

The exact location of the cemetery can no longer be determined today.

In 1922, the cemetery on Wassenbergstrasse was fully occupied, the following burials took place on the new burial ground. It is located in the municipal cemetery on Mühlenweg.

Füfor the last dead in this cemetery, no more gravestones were allowed to be erected. Henriette Levi and Eugen Mehler killed themselves to avoid being deported to a concentration camp. Since 1988, a memorial stone commemorates these two dead. 

The first Jüdische cemetery in the city of Emmerich was established in 1629 in the west of the city on the Rhine between the city wall and the moat. This cemetery was used for almost 200 years.

In 1825, the city forced the Jüdische community to abandon the cemetery because the area was needed to expand the harbor. The bones were exhumed in 1825 and moved together with the associated gravestones to the new cemetery on Wassenbergstrasse.

The exact location of the old cemetery can only be approximated. Probably it was located under the present customs office.
