Cronenbourg Jewish cemetery, Jewish cemetery in Cronenbourg, France

Cronenbourg Jewish cemetery is a burial ground in Strasbourg with thousands of graves spread across a large open area. The site features gravestones from different periods with Hebrew and other inscriptions, along with several memorials dedicated to Holocaust victims and soldiers from earlier wars.

Laid out in 1909 under the Reichsland and inaugurated on 14 October 1910, the cemetery replaced the Koenigshoffen burial ground, which had opened in 1801 and was full with about 4,000 graves. It holds roughly 6,500 tombs. A 1951 memorial by architects Lucien Crombach and E. Picard names 840 Strasbourg Jews deported and murdered between 1939 and 1945; a 1955 stone for 86 Jews killed at Natzweiler-Struthof was renewed in 2005.

The cemetery holds a geniza, a repository for worn-out Hebrew texts and ritual objects that are buried rather than destroyed. In the prayer hall, a plaque lists in Hebrew the names of members of the Orthodox Adath Israel community who were shot or deported. The graves of Jean Kahn (1929–2013), president of CRIF and the European Jewish Congress, and of mathematics historian Max Simon (1844–1918) lie here.

The cemetery is at 3 route d'Oberhausbergen in Cronenbourg, north-west of Strasbourg city centre, and is run by the Consistoire israélite du Bas-Rhin. Men cover their heads on the grounds, and the oratory holds the plaque of the Adath Israël community. The graves stand on pale gravel between rows of granite stones, with the 1951 memorial and the mass grave of the 86 victims as fixed points to find.

The cemetery holds a geniza, a storage place for worn-out Hebrew religious texts and objects that cannot be discarded, a feature rarely found in Alsatian burial grounds. Among the graves are those of Jean Kahn (1929-2013), president of CRIF and the European Jewish Congress, and Max Simon (1844-1918), a historian of mathematics.
