Jüdischer Friedhof Mannheim

The cemetery contains over 5,400 memorial stones and grave markers, with inscriptions documenting the lives of Jewish residents from Mannheim and surrounding areas.

Established in 1842, the cemetery received 3,586 remains transferred from the old Jewish burial ground in F 7 during 1938 to a designated mass grave.

The cemetery design follows traditional Jewish burial customs, with rows of stone markers featuring Hebrew inscriptions and symbols representing family heritage and religious beliefs.

Visitors can access the online database containing more than 6,000 burial records, which was made available to the public in September 2013.

A memorial stone near the entrance bears the inscription 'Denen, die kein Grab fanden' to commemorate those who perished without receiving proper burial rites.
