Cimetière juif de Koenigshoffen, Jewish cemetery in Koenigshoffen district, Strasbourg, France.
The cemetery contains over four thousand graves spread across a large area, featuring traditional Hebrew inscriptions on many tombstones.
Established in 1801 after Jewish families gained rights to settle in Strasbourg, this cemetery replaced an earlier medieval burial ground destroyed during the Black Death.
The inscriptions on the tombstones combine Hebrew and Latin text, reflecting the integration of Jewish and French cultures in Alsace.
Located at 29 rue de la Tour in Strasbourg, the cemetery requires advance notice for visits through the local Jewish community office.
During the 1930s, local residents maintained the cemetery grounds by raising rabbits between the graves, which helped preserve the site.
