Jüdischer Friedhof

The cemetery grounds contain six remaining gravestones, including two natural stone slabs and a two-meter-high burial stele with Hebrew inscriptions.

The Jewish burial ground operated from 1749 to 1931, replacing an older cemetery whose location remains unknown in present times.

The cemetery reflects traditional Jewish burial customs with its layout divided by a central path separating the grounds into two distinct sections.

Located in a residential area, the cemetery grounds are surrounded by hedges and trees, offering public access through the Heidweg street entrance.

After 1955, authorities leveled all graves older than 30 years, leaving only six preserved headstones from the original burial ground.
