history

Isolated Jewish families have lived in the city since the 18th century. They never formed a church. In order to be buried in his hometown, the doctor and Oldenburg member of the state parliament Nathan Nachmann Nathan (1813-1894) bought the burial site at the Kleiner Eutiner See, which still exists today. From then on, local Jews could also bury their relatives there. The first burial took place in 1886. On the fenced-in area with a gate system there are around 12 tombstones on eight family graves, two of which are in enclosed family graves from the early 20th century. A group of three steles commemorates five Hungarian and Romanian women from the Bilohe subcamp of the Neuengamme concentration camp at the main air ammunition facility in Lübberstedt near Bremen . The satellite camp was evacuated on April 20, 1945. The female concentration camp prisoners were transported away by train, which also carried several wagons with ammunition. The train was bombed by British airmen on May 3, 1945 near Eutin and Plön near Timmdorf . The five Jewish women died in the process. Their burials were the last in Eutin.
