Old Jewish Cemetery, Jewish cemetery at Rat-Beil-Straße, Frankfurt, Germany

The cemetery spans across an extensive area adjacent to Frankfurt Main Cemetery, forming one of Germany's largest burial grounds with 40,000 interments.

Established in 1828, the cemetery operated until 1928, when it reached capacity and only allowed burials in existing family graves.

Notable figures interred here include Nobel laureate Paul Ehrlich, women's rights advocate Bertha Pappenheim, and members of the Rothschild banking family.

The cemetery grounds maintain records of every burial, providing researchers and genealogists with detailed information about Frankfurt's Jewish community members.

Dense rows of weathered headstones display Hebrew inscriptions and traditional Jewish burial symbols, documenting centuries of Frankfurt's Jewish population.
