Cemetery

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.

Area enclosed by wall with a large number of gravestones; partly restored by stonemasonry or inscriptions made recognizable again!

As early as 1776, the Jews settled in Wittstock applied for their own burial place. Thereupon in the direction of Kyritz the "old God's Acre" was established, where from 1806 to 1862 altogether 36 grave places were established. However, this was only the front part of today's area.

Leveled and partially built over private land.

Already in 1740 the first burial took place on the newly created cemetery, this had to be expanded in 1821. 1880 could be acquired the initially leased land by the municipality for sale.

Around 1825, the number of community members reached its peak of almost 140. As a result of the emigration that also began here, it declined to eight by 1910, the synagogue building was sold in 1921, and the following year the community dissolved. The last two Jews from Bützow were deported in 1942.

The cemetery was probably already in the late 18th century, after the dissolution of the municipality, the site went to the municipality ünde with the requirement to maintain and care for it as a cemetery. Whether the reduction of the cemetery was carried out before the dissolution of the municipality (in view of shrinking membership and resulting loss of income conceivable), or only after the transfer to the municipality, is unclear.

Enclosed cemetery with graves. 12 stones and 28 grave gels.
