Judenbühel, Innsbruck, Jewish memorial and cemetery in Innsbruck, Austria.
Judenbühel is a memorial and former cemetery in Innsbruck situated near the Hungerburg district. The site is marked today by steel plates that indicate the original boundaries and entrance of the burial ground.
The cemetery operated from 1503 until 1864 and served as a burial ground for the local Jewish community. Vandalism incidents eventually led the community to relocate their graves to the Western Cemetery.
The name Judenbühel means "Jewish hill" in German and refers to the community that once gathered here for burials and remembrance. The steel markers visible today serve as a tangible connection to this historical presence in the city.
The site is freely accessible and located in a quiet residential area that is easy to reach on foot. Archaeological work has revealed the original structure of the place, and the steel markers visible today help visitors understand the layout.
Archaeological investigation conducted in 2007 uncovered the exact structure of the forgotten cemetery, making it possible to create today's memorial. The steel plates were designed by artists Ada and Reinhard Rinderer to show where the original walls and entrances once stood.
