The rectangular area is surrounded by a natural hedge. The entrance is on the southeast corner of the cemetery. The large number of shell limestone remains suggests that the western part of the cemetery was fully occupied. The eastern part remained unoccupied. The remaining grave borders indicate an orientation of the graves to the east.
history
The Jewish cemetery was already in use in the 18th century. During the Nazi era , the cemetery was heavily damaged. It went wild and was forgotten. Are preserved grave stones from the years 1862 to 1898. Two 1,990 remaining grave stones from 1892 and 1904 do not exist more.
All tombstones have now been restored and put up.
