Jewish cemetery Elze

Complete profile
90

On the burial ground of the Jewish community of Elze are two gravestones - dated around 1920 - and part of a portal with Hebrew inscription, probably Überrest of the synagogue in Mehle, preserved.

A memorial stone commemorates the synagogue community Elze, which was officially dissolved in 1940, since demonstrably no more Jewish Bürger lived in Elze.

Jewish cemetery (Zell/Main - deserted cemetery)

A cemetery is said to have existed in Zell from 1800 to 1860. However, neither the date nor the existence are considered certain, since they are based exclusively on stories told by locals. The area on a western slope to the left of the road from Unterzell to Margetshöchheim serves today as a clover field, no traces of the (alleged) cemetery have survived.

Jewish Cemetery (Wunsiedel Concentration Camp Cemetery and Memorial)

Complete profile
80

There are 30 Jewish concentration camp victims, victims of a "death march" during the evacuation of the concentration camps in the last weeks of the war, buried in row and individual graves in the municipal cemetery on Egerstraße. However, the cemetery also contains the grave of former "Führer" deputy and leading Nazi Rudolf Hess, which is why the site has become a neo-Nazi cult site since 1987, especially on the anniversary of his death in August.

Jewish cemetery (Wörth an der Donau concentration camp gravesite)

Complete profile

A concentration camp gravesite is located in the municipal cemetery of Wörth (Kapellenweg, 93086 Wörth an der Donau). On a death march, eighteen prisoners of the Buchenwald concentration camp were shot in Wörth by SS guards on April 24/25, 1945. The collective grave in the Wörth cemetery, where the murdered were buried, was dissolved in 1957 in the course of a reburial to Flossenbürg. The grave of Josef Gurski, concentration camp prisoner in Flossenbürg and died of exhaustion on May 13, 1945, remained.
