Judenfriedhof

The Kleinbardorf Jewish cemetery contains 4,400 gravestones spread across 2.1 hectares, making it the largest Jewish burial ground in Franconia.

The cemetery dates back to 1574 when Georg von Bibra granted the Jewish community permission to establish a burial site on Wartberg hill.

The cemetery features separate sections for mothers who died during childbirth, young people, and traditional burial areas in the rear sections.

The cemetery remains accessible through a walking path locally known as Judenhügel, without requiring advance registration for visits.

Among the notable graves is that of Joseph Sachs, father of Samuel Sachs, who later became a founder of the Goldman Sachs banking group.
