Cemetery

The cemetery on the Hagenberg outside the city has existed since 1770. Attempts by the community to get a cemetery closer to the city failed.

After 1770, the Jews of Stade were assigned to cemetery near the old garrison cemetery.

Regular burials can be traced only from 1827. In 1940 the cemetery was cleared. The gravestones were stored at the building yard and some of them were documented. Then they disappeared.[nbsp] Today three gravestones are still preserved in the cemetery.

The first Jewish cemetery of Basel was established at the beginning of the 13th century. The cemetery was located in front of the city. The graves were found during construction work in the forties and moved to the new cemetery.

 The second Jewish cemetery was located in the city, but was used only briefly, as the Jews were expelled from the city in e1397.

When a new Jewish community was founded in 1805, the dead were first buried in Hegenheim in France.

Location:

Coming from the direction of Hoym, one reaches a small driveway to the right immediately before the place name sign "Ballenstedt". About it one reaches the entrance of the cemetery.

The large area, enclosed by a wall, is empty except for a memorial stone erected in its center. The preserved about 15 gravestones were placed along the right outer wall (seen from the gate). Four memorial plaques are placed at its near-gate end.

The gate is locked, a plaque placed there indicates that a key is available at the town hall, room 11.

The cemetery is located in the western outskirts of Bad Neustadt at the lower end of Mozartstraße. One approaches him from the south, where also the entrance is. From the gate a small chestnut avenue measures through the area, which rises steeply to the north. The graves in the almost square field are oriented to the east. Only the western part is occupied, the eastern half has remained empty. The side with the entrance gate is protected by a wall, on the other three sides there is wire mesh fence.

The first medieval cemetery was located in the lower Sandstrasse. He was created in the 14th century and cleared in the late 15th century. During reconstruction work on a house some years ago old gravestones, which were used as floor slabs, are said to have been found.

From 1556 to 1851, the Jews in Bamberg had no cemetery of their own. They had to bury their dead first in Zeckendorf, from the middle of the 17th century in Walsdorf.

The new Jewish cemetery of Bad Bentheim was first used in 1874. It is located in the city at the Hilgenstiege. There are still 45 gravestones preserved.

The old Jewish cemetery was probably established in the middle of the 17th century on the Osterberg, near the current open-air stage. A very contemplative and almost romantic place.
