Cemetery

In the past, the Jews of Iserlohn were not allowed to bury their dead within the city fortifications. The burials therefore took place in front of the city wall on a spoil site near Dicken Turm . In 1743 a building was to be erected there. The cemetery therefore had to be abandoned. A new walled cemetery was established at the pit Gröfeken on the Dördel.[1]

This cemetery was occupied in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was destroyed in 1938, during the Nazi period, and restored after World War II.

The Schwanenberg Jewish Cemetery is located at the end of the village of Lentholt, a hamlet that belongs to Schwanenberg, a district of Erkelenz in the district of Heinsberg near Mönchengladbach (North Rhine-Westphalia).

In Schwanenberg there is a Jewish community since the early 19th century. Presumably, however, there were already Jews in the area since the 16th century.

The Jüdische Friedhof Berne im niedersächsischen Landkreis Wesermarsch is about 810 m² groß. The cemetery was established in 1895 on a private plot of land by Louis Koopmann. The oldest existing gravestone in the cemetery dates back to 1895. Cemetery in Berne dates from 1895; it is the gravestone for the founder of the cemetery, Louis Koopmann.

There was a cemetery in Bern from the Middle Ages. It was located where the Bundeshaus stands today. The new cemetery was founded in 1884. Today it includes 1800 graves.

The Jewish cemetery of Hebenshausen is located two kilometers north of the village on a small hill at the edge of a small village. It can be reached by a tarred dirt road at the edge of the village or by a small access road of the B27 in direction Göttingen shortly before the exit Marzhausen. The cemetery was established at the beginning of the 18th century to provide the growing Jewish community with a local burial place. Previously, burials had taken place in the Jewish cemetery in Witzenhausen.

There was an old cemetery In den Gärten" from 1839. Although it was designated as a cemetery, it was not used. The municipality had to sell it in 1938.

The new cemetery Am Sandberg was occupied from 1832 to 1940. There are 53 gravestones here today.

The cemetery is located in the Südstadt at the end of Biesnitzer Stra;e, at the height of the streetcar stop „Büchtemannstraße“.

The cemetery is geöffnet: Sunday to Thursday: 7-18 clock, Friday 7-14 clock.

Somewhat above Werden is the small Jewish cemetery in Werden on a hiking trail. One could carelessly leave it to the right, but on our hike it was worth a second look. Due to the fact that the cemetery is fenced, you could only take a look at the tombstones from the outside, but many of the graves seem very old and in good condition.
