Alter Jüdischer Friedhof, Jewish cemetery in Saarbrücken, Germany.

The cemetery contains 179 gravestones spread across its grounds, featuring Hebrew inscriptions and detailed stone carvings from different time periods.

The cemetery opened on February 21, 1841, after the Jewish community of Saarbrücken previously buried their deceased in neighboring Forbach until 1840.

The gravestones display traditional Jewish burial customs and memorial practices through their designs, inscriptions, and placement within the grounds.

Visitors can find the cemetery at the intersection of Graf-Simon-Strasse and Komturstrasse, with regular public transportation connections nearby.

An entrance pavilion designed by architect Hans Weszkalnys in 1929 marks the entry point to this historical burial ground.
