Jüdischer Friedhof Korbach, Jewish cemetery in Korbach, Germany
Jüdischer Friedhof Korbach is a burial ground near Südbahnhof station containing around 114 gravestones, enclosed by a wooden fence with a metal gate entrance. The site is maintained by the municipality and shows through its layout and preserved stones the history of the local Jewish community.
The cemetery was established in the second half of the 18th century, with the oldest gravestones from 1772. The final burials took place between 1938 and 1940, as the Jewish community was destroyed by Nazi rule.

Its 21.92-are grounds form a square with a pointed western extension on a slight slope, bordered by residential buildings and gardens. A wooden fence encloses the entire site, and a metal gate closes the entrance in the southern part of the park.
The grounds are freely accessible to visitors and are regularly maintained by the city, keeping the graves visible and respectfully preserved. For those interested in learning more about the region's Jewish history, local museums and information centers offer additional context.
