"The imposing Jewish cemetery, located on a hill covered with trees, is today surrounded by a wall with an entrance gate, is maintained by the city building yard and is in very good condition. With its extensive gravestone inventory, it is one of the most impressive testimonies to former Jewish culture in Mecklenburg." (Jürgen Gramenz, Sylvia Ulmer on the page juden-in-mecklenburg.de)

A large part of the cemetery was built over with apartment blocks in the 1960s, only a few gravestones were salvaged and reinstalled. This small remaining cemetery is located on Lindenbruchstra;e, when leaving the center of the village in the direction of Rostock, this is the first side street on the left after the bridge over the Beke. It is located at the far end of the parking lot behind the last block of flats on the left (No. 39-41) on a small hill.

Lag before the Kröpeliner gate at the Vögenteich. Today no longer exists.

The village Rossow is a former Mecklenburg territory and served as a lively trade center between Mecklenburg and Prussia in the 18th century. Here the Jewish inhabitants asked for their own burial place. This was done in 1793. For a sparsely populated village like Rossow, the Jewish population was very high. The population was 20% Jewish. This circumstance changed later, however, due to strong emigration. Many Jews in Rossow lived until the 1860s from peddling in the community, but probably also from smuggling.
