Alter Jüdischer Friedhof, Jewish cemetery in Neustadt District, Dresden, Germany

Located between Pulsnitzer Strasse and Prießnitzstrasse, this cemetery spans 3,500 square meters and contains 1,263 graves, with 800 featuring preserved headstones.

Established in 1751 as Saxony's first Jewish burial ground, the cemetery operated until 1869 when capacity limitations led to its closure by Dresden authorities.

The sandstone headstones display eastern-facing inscriptions combining Hebrew text with German descriptions, incorporating Jewish calendar dates and traditional symbols.

Access to the cemetery at Pulsnitzer Straße 14 requires advance arrangements through HATiKVA organization, and male visitors must wear head coverings.

During World War II, the cemetery remained open and functioned as a meeting place for Dresden's Jewish community until metalwork removal in 1943.
