history
The Jewish community in Orb received in 1725 from the town of Orb land at Upper Gate, outside the city walls, to the application of a cemetery. After long negotiations between the city and the Jewish community, this cemetery was closed for sanitary reasons in 1838. In 1841 the Jewish community of Orb joined the cemetery association of the Jewish cemetery in Aufenau . Their dead were buried there until the construction of the new Jewish cemetery in Bad Orb in the early 1930s.
The Jewish cemetery in Bad Orb covers 7.85 ares . There were eleven burials by 1935. The eleven tombstones ( mazewot ) made of black granite with Hebrew and German inscriptions have been preserved.
