Cemetery

Since 1903, the cemetery of the former Jewish religious community, to which the Jews of the villages of Dauborn, Kirberg, Heringen and Mensfelden belonged, has been located on the road between Kirberg and Dauborn.

The Jewish Community became extinct in 1940, and the cemetery was signed over to the community of Kirberg for 50 RM under the pressure of persecution.

In the cemetery there is a memorial stone donated in 1966 by descendants of the Wolf family buried here. In 1981 a delegation from Israel visited the cemetery. The facility is maintained by the municipality of Hünxe.

Übersetzung des Textes auf dem Gedenkstein:

A schlüssige Übersetzung der Insschrift lautet:

1955 was a "honorary plaque" für the murdered Jews in the cemetery hall attached.

2020/1 Since große parts of the north-western part of the cemetery and the cemetery hall are collapsed, the cemetery is currently being renovated. The renovation of the surrounding wall is about 3/4 completed. Therefore, the cemetery is currently closed.

The new Jüdische cemetery was established in 1858 and was enclosed by artillery carriages, because from 1872 the German militaryär produced weapons in the area.

In1913 they built a repräsentative double portal at the entrance of the cemetery and at the cemetery chapel.

From 1923 there was Verschönerungsarbeiten at the cemetery, it was purchased 500 square meters für die Erweiterung des Geländs, giving them the chance to vergößern the cemetery to wall and employees such as Gärtner and Friedhofswärter to hire.

Underneath the Soviet military cemetery (already clearly signposted from Eisenacher Straße) lies the old Jewish cemetery with about 70 tombstones, some of which are still in good condition.
Left of the entrance to the military cemetery, a narrow path leads to the entrance of the Jewish cemetery.
Those wishing to visit the cemetery should inquire beforehand with the local congregation, which holds the key to the cemetery grounds. 
Both cemeteries, Jewish and Soviet, are well preserved and regularly maintained. 

The cemetery is located southwest of Seulberg, accessible via Landgrafenstraße, about 200 m after the last houses on the left side.
