history

The dead of the Falkenstein Jewish community were first buried in the Jewish cemetery in Kronberg , which is about 1 km from the Falkenstein cemetery in the forest. In 1807 the Jews from Falkenstein and Königstein formed an independent community, which in 1809 leased a piece of land and established a cemetery , which was acquired by the Jewish community in 1912.

There are 8 gravestones in the 31.95 ares large cemetery, which are believed to have come from the Kronberg cemetery. These are the oldest stones. You are illegible. A total of 89 stones have been preserved. The last funeral (Wilhelm Gemmer) took place in 1971.

The oldest recognizable grave dates from 1847. Before the mid-19th century, burials were often carried out without a tombstone. This should not show any differences between the deceased. Tombstones were later used. The graves of Noah Berkowitz (d. 1896), Feodor Brodsky (d. 1893) and Victor Ghittis (d. 1897), three patients of Dettweiler's lung sanatorium from Russia who died during treatment , are provided with artistic fencing.
