Jüdischer Friedhof, Jewish cemetery in Mainz, Germany.
The cemetery contains hundreds of stone markers and tombstones arranged in rows across multiple sections at Mombacherstrasse 8 in Mainz.
The burial ground dates back to medieval times when Mainz formed part of the influential ShUM cities alongside Worms and Speyer.
The cemetery grounds feature traditional Hebrew inscriptions and symbolic decorations on gravestones that reflect Jewish burial customs through different periods.
Visitors can access the cemetery grounds through wheelchair-accessible pathways, with guided tours available by advance reservation.
The tomb of Rabbi Gershom ben Yehuda, an influential 11th-century Jewish scholar who shaped European Jewish law, remains preserved within the cemetery.
