Jewish cemetery Oranienburg

Complete profile

Evolution:

On Jan. 13, 1718, Joseph Meyer applied for a Jewish cemetery in Oranienburg, which was rejected because there were only two Jewish families in Oranienburg and they could be buried in Briesethal and Berlin. The Jewish population increased and Frederick William III issued an edict in 1812 making Jews citizens (not full equality). In the same year another application for the cemetery was successful. On 16.03.1815 the first burial took place of Jakob David Wolff, who died of convulsions at the age of 20 months.

Jewish Cemetery Seegasse (Vienna)

The oldest Jewish cemetery was established in 1421 in the Rossau. Most of the graves date from the time of Vienna's second Jewish community (1624-1670). It saved the cemetery from imminent dissolution by redeeming it to the city of Vienna in the name of the brothers Isak and Israel Fränkel for 4,000 gulden. A short time later it passed to the war commissioner and court banker Samuel Oppenheimer, who subsequently had a poorhouse and hospital built.
