Bisperode - Jewish spouses' stones (Coppenbrügge)

Complete profile
90

At the turn of the century, only one Jewish merchant family lived in Bisperode. There was therefore no sufficient reason to establish a Jewish cemetery. The Spiegelbergs were buried in the Christian cemetery on the outskirts. The small family burial site was once surrounded by a  cast-iron fence and was thus clearly separated from the Christian graves.

Among the resting places of famous personalities and worth seeing graves in the cemetery of Görlitz is the grave of the Jewish lawyer Bruno Alexander-Katz. The impressive grave marker made of shell limestone embodies the "Resurrection".

Finally, the East Cemetery was co-occupied, where Jews were buried within various sections (Dept. B: Halpern family), Dept. E: Biermann family, Dept. I: Hirsch family). Several graves of former Jewish residents, including the resting place of the Salomon family, are found in Section VIe. The members of the family jointly chose suicide on September 18, 1941: Dr. Oscar Salomon 1863-1941, Martha Salomon 1873-1941 and Dr. Hans Salomon 1898-1941). Next to the grave of the Salomon family are several Jewish graves.    

Trinity Cemetery

In Gera there was no Jewish cemetery of its own. Jewish people who died in the city were either buried in Jewish cemeteries outside the city or in the municipal cemeteries of the city.  Thus, until shortly after 1885, several Jewish deceased were buried in the old, then closed Trinitatisf cemetery. This cemetery has been dissolved and a park has taken its place. Before the cemetery was closed there were three Jewish graves here. Today there are only two non-Jewish gravestones.
