description

The Hohenhausen Jewish Cemetery is located between Lemgoer Strasse (at house number 57) and Mühlenbrede. In the cemetery, which was occupied from 1686 to 1917, there are said to be 16 burials; only one tombstone ( Mazewa ) remains on site.

Eight other gravestones, which were probably removed from the Hohenhauser Friedhof during the National Socialist era , are also preserved. These were used in 1948 to restore the old Jewish cemetery in Lemgo , which was completely destroyed during the Reichspogromnacht in 1938 . The original gravestones from the Lemgo cemetery were no longer preserved.
