Old Jewish Cemetery Hüls (Krefeld)

The former Jewish cemetery in “Meyser Feld” in Krefeld-Hüls was once located in the area to the left of the center of the picture.

The old Jewish cemetery in Hüls , a district of Krefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia , was probably occupied from the 17th century until 1890. The successor to the old Jewish cemetery on today's Klever Strasse (formerly Moersische Strasse in “Meyser Feld”) is the Jewish cemetery Am Strathhof , which has been occupied since 1891 and to which tombstones are said to have been moved later.

No gravestones have been preserved on the area of ​​the former burial site, which is now on private land.
