Cemetery

The Old Jewish Cemetery of Munich is located in the Sendling district and was in use from 1816 to 1907. This cemetery was expanded in 1854, 1871 and 1881. It is surrounded by a high brick wall, which was rebuilt again in 1881 and has a length of 575 meters. In total there are about 6,000 gravestones. Worth seeing is, among others, the tomb of the playwright Michael Beer (d. 1833, brother of the composer Giacomo Meyerbeer), designed by L. v. Klenze. The first occupied sections of the cemetery have the numbers 11 and 12.

A new Jewish cemetery (also: Jüdischer Friedhof Lengfeld or officially Israelitischer Friedhof) was established from 1880 to 1882 and consecrated on July 4, 1882. In the decades before, the Jews of Würzburg had been buried in Höchberg and Heidingsfeld. The Höchberg cemetery remained the preferred burial place for many Orthodox even after 1882, especially after the possibility of burying ash urns was available in the new cemetery since about 1900 (urn hall). The oldest gravestone is from 1881 (Amalie Bechhöfer). A massive stone wall surrounds the cemetery.

The Jewish cemetery Berlin-Spandau of the Jewish community Spandau was located between the Schülerbergstraße and the Neue Bergstraße. The cemetery existed from 1865 to 1940.
