Jewish cemetery

The cemetery contains approximately 1200 gravestones featuring German inscriptions that document the lives of Jewish residents from various backgrounds and professions.

Established during the growth of the Jewish community in Schopfloch, the cemetery recorded burials of local families until the 1930s when residents left due to persecution.

The gravestones display traditional Hebrew inscriptions and symbolic elements such as tree trunks for premature death and palm trees representing righteousness.

The cemetery requires advance coordination for visits and maintains specific regulations regarding photography to preserve the dignity of the burial ground.

Local traders developed a specific dialect called Lachoudisch for communication between Jewish and Christian merchants, reflecting the community integration in Schopfloch.
