Cemetery

The cemetery exists since 1815.  The last burial took place in 1884 stett. Before the Jewish community bought it, there were mulberry trees on the property. The cemetery is surrounded by a brick wall, an iron gate closes the access. Today there are still about 300 gravestones on the site.

Brady Street runs between Whitechapel and Bethnal Green stations. From Whitechape, turn left before the station and follow Whitechapel Road out of town a few steps to the first side street on the left, this is Brady Street. You pass a school on the left side of the street and on this side you see a high perimeter wall topped by trees, behind which is the cemetery.

Coming from Bethnal Green, turn left and follow Three Colts Lane statdteinwärts. After a few steps Brady Street branches off to the left.

Since 1843, the West London Synagogue owned a cemetery in Islington, but towards the end of the century it was fully occupied. Therefore one acquired 1894 in Golders Green, at that time far outside convenient and before building of the subway there 1907 still little developed, an extensive area of approx.  16,5 hectares, probably too largely for the own need, because  already before the opening of the own cemetery 1896 one sold scarcely half of the reason to the Spanish-Portuguese Sephardi congregation.

The cemetery, first mentioned in 1804, may have originated as early as the 17th or 18th century.  After 1933 - and especially in the wake of the 1938 pogroms - it was repeatedly desecrated, and in 1950-52 some gravestones were put back in place. It was not until 2006 that a group of students from the local gymnasium began a thorough restoration: stones were placed as far as possible, gravestone debris was collected, and the entire site was restored to a suitably dignified condition.

The cemetery was established in 1819/20, today there are about 300 graves preserved, plus the Tahara Hall.  The graves occupy only the third of the walled cemetery far from the entrance. The entrance gate is closed, the enclosing wall can be overlooked at various points.

In Ahlden exists a small Jewish cemetery with 16 gravestones. The oldest gravestone dates from 1832.

Hagenbach was in the first half of the 19th century one of the most important Jewish rural communities in Upper Franconia, until 1894 the seat of one of the five district rabbinates of the Bamberg State Rabbinate. At times, the Jewish community accounted for more than half of the village population.

The first settlement of Jews in Hagebach probably dates back to the time of the Thirty Years' War, in the following decades the sovereigns encouraged their settlement, and by 1730 there were already almost 30 families in the village.

A cemetery was established in Lisberg already in 1739 (or earlier). There are a good 130 gravestones preserved there. The cemetery is enclosed by an almost man-high wall and a dense hedge growing in front of it, and therefore only visible through the locked lattice gate.

The cemetery can be found by leaving Lisdorf southwards in direction Frenshof and Steinsdorf. The first dirt road after the end of the village on the left leads between fields uphill to the cemetery, which is located on the tree-covered hilltop.

Aufseß is located in the middle of Franconian Switzerland on the Castle Road and the Franconian Beer Road. The river of the same name flows through the village. 
To the place belong today ten parts of the municipality.
