Cemetery

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.

After 1920, a separate Jewish burial ground was created on the grounds of the Görden State Institution, directly next to the Christian institution cemetery. Between 1922 and 1941, a total of 46 Jewish patients* were buried there. The overgrown plot was only restored in 2006 with funds from the state of Brandenburg, and a memorial stone was erected.

There are 16 gravestones of Jewish soldiers from the 1914 - 1918 war preserved in the Jewish cemetery of honor at the Waldfriedhof Aachen. They are located on a small, elevated area near the entrance of the cemetery. The gravestones are difficult to find in the huge grave fields.
