Jewish Cemetery in Trier, Jewish cemetery in Trier, Germany
The Jewish Cemetery in Trier is located within the city's main burial ground and contains gravestones bearing Hebrew and Latin inscriptions from different periods. The cemetery documents the Jewish burial history of the region across multiple generations.
An earlier Jewish cemetery on Weidegasse operated from 1620 before space constraints prompted the creation of a new section in the main cemetery in 1922. This relocation reflected the growth of Trier's Jewish community and its changing needs over time.
Visitors follow Jewish tradition by placing small stones on graves as a mark of respect. The headstones display Hebrew inscriptions and Stars of David symbols.
The cemetery grounds are open to individual visitors during regular hours, and group tours can be arranged in advance. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as you navigate through the main cemetery grounds to reach this section.
The cemetery contains the graves of Karl Marx's great-grandparents, Abraham Mosche ben Heschel Lwow and Mordechai Halevi ben Schmuel Postelberg. This connection links the site to one of modern history's most influential thinkers.
