Neuer Jüdischer Friedhof

The cemetery contains 143 gravestones arranged in traditional Jewish burial patterns, with inscriptions in Hebrew and German languages marking each grave site.

Dating from 1722 to 1937, the Neuer Jüdischer Friedhof served multiple Jewish communities, including those from Hollfeld and Bayreuth, until separate burial grounds were established.

The cemetery gravestones display traditional Jewish burial symbolism and epitaphs, representing the religious practices and cultural identity of Nuremberg's Jewish population.

The cemetery grounds remain protected by concrete walls and an iron gate, with access available through prior arrangements with the Israelischen Kultusgemeine in Bayern.

The earliest datable gravestone in the cemetery originates from 1735, providing tangible evidence of Jewish presence in Nuremberg during the 18th century.
