Jewish cemetery Oerlinghausen

Complete profile

According to an old document from 1766, the cemetery should have been established already "one hundred years ago", i.e. around 1666. This would probably correspond approximately to the first immigration of Jews in the village. The oldest preserved gravestone, however, dates from 1761. Since late summer 1920 there has been a memorial stone in the center of the cemetery for the two fallen soldiers of the First World War of the Oerlinghausen synagogue community: Albert Kulemeyer (1918) and Ernst Joachim Meyer (1914). The last burial took place in 1937.

Just by the entrance gate today there are several memorial plaques. The inscription on the central memorial plaque reads: "From the depths I call you Eternal! (also in Hebrew above); Dedicated to our murdered brothers and sisters". On both sides next to it are listed the names of Jewish community members of Brandenburg, mostly with dates of birth, who perished as a result of the Holocaust. The names of people buried in the original cemetery and their dates of death are also inscribed on plaques on the brick wall.
