from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jewish cemetery Crivitz was a Jewish cemetery on Trammer Strasse in Crivitz in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It was leveled after 1938.

history

The first small burial site was on top of the Windmühlenberg in 1763. A new cemetery had to be created in 1776 due to the progressive gravel mining on the mountain. In 1786 the old graves were gradually reburied.

Until 1938 the cemetery was surrounded by a wooden fence and then by a wall. Afterwards the area was used as a prison camp. During the Second World War , a barrack camp was built here for Soviet prisoners of war who had to do forced labor . After being used as a prison camp, the property was sold to private customers.

A house from this time is now a residential building, parts of the site are used as storage space.
