Jüdischer Friedhof Deutz, Jewish cemetery in Deutz, Germany.

The Jüdischer Friedhof Deutz is a burial ground in the Cologne district of Deutz with hundreds of gravestones spanning multiple centuries. The site documents generations of Jewish families whose names and dates are recorded in Hebrew and German inscriptions.

The cemetery was founded in 1695 and served the Jewish community of Cologne for over 250 years. The final burials took place in 1941, shortly before the community was destroyed during World War II.

The cemetery layout follows traditional Jewish burial practices, with graves oriented east and featuring symbols that represent Jewish religious and cultural traditions.

Visitors should contact local authorities before visiting, as access requires prior arrangement and adherence to specific guidelines. It is important to inquire in advance and follow respectful conduct rules.

The cemetery is among the oldest Jewish burial grounds in Germany and shows in its gravestone inscriptions differences between earlier Hebrew texts and later German additions. This language mixture reflects both growing integration and the preservation of religious traditions.
