A Jewish cemetery was established in Heiligenstadt in the first half of the 19th century. The oldest grave is from 1829. The last burial in the Nazi period was in 1940. Possibly there was also still a burial in 1947  (Pauline Löwenstein in a grave without preserved inscription).  
The cemetery is surrounded by a plain wooden fence.    

Jewish cemetery (Gotha)

 In 1829, with the permission of the government of the Duchy of Gotha, a new burial ground "next to the Siechhofe on the road to Kindleben" - on the former Chaussee Siebleben - Erfurt (today's Erfurter Landstraße) - could be established. These burial grounds were located close to each other. It is possible that 1829 was only an extension of the cemetery of 1768. The cemetery was occupied until the new cemetery was established. There is nothing left of this cemetery today.

A Jewish community re-emerged in the city at the beginning of the 19th century, which was able to establish a cemetery in front of the Brühler Tor at the beginning of today's Cyriakstraße in 1811/12. The cemetery was occupied until the construction of the new cemetery in 1878. In 1926 the cemetery was severely desecrated. In the process, three youths of the "Wiking-Bund" toppled or severely damaged 95 of the 130 existing gravestones at that time (see reports below). In 1938 the cemetery was again vandalized.

During excavations at a construction site in the area between Andreasstraße, Großer Ackerhofgasse and Moritzstraße, 20 more pieces of medieval Jewish gravestones were found, including the oldest surviving gravestone from 1259 for "Frau Dolze, Tochter des Herrn Ascher."  Erfurt now has a total of 58 Jewish gravestones and gravestone fragments from the Middle Ages. Three of them are on display in the Old Synagogue. The newly discovered pieces will initially be housed in the stone depot of the Angermuseum.

The Jewish community already had a cemetery in front of the Werna Gate in the 16th and 17th centuries. When this cemetery had become too small in the second half of the 18th century, the community acquired a plot of land in front of the Walkenrieder Tor in 1782. The last burial took place in 1915. The cemetery area covers about 25,00 ar. There are about 75 gravestones preserved. Many of them show traces of destruction and desecration. The memorial plaque located at the corner of Töpferstraße and Karlstraße was destroyed and removed in the 1990s, after which a new plaque was installed.
