history

The cemetery was established in 1870 in the immediate vicinity of the old municipal cemetery (inauguration on September 25, 1870) after the deceased of the Jewish community of Ludwigsburg had previously been buried in the cemeteries of Freudental and then Hochberg . The solemn inauguration of a memorial to two Jewish soldiers who died in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 , a German (Heinrich Heydemann, † September 24, 1870) and a French (Isidor Michel, † December 6, 1870), the 1870 here with the first two burials next to each other, took place with great public sympathy on August 6, 1873. At the beginning of the 20th century, the old Jewish cemetery with its around 100 burials was replaced by a new one on Harteneckstrasse.
