The Jewish cemetery Lübz is a Jewish cemetery in Lübz in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is a protected architectural monument .

description

The cemetery is on Schützenstrasse, now between residential buildings. The only small property of approx. 300 m² is evidence of a very small Jewish community. There are 19 (1988) and 14 (1993) tombstones left .

history

The cemetery was founded (shortly) after 1823. Around 1860, the Jewish community reached the highest number of believers. The oldest surviving tombstone dates from 1839 (Röse Arons née Liebmann, 1786–1839), the youngest from 1924 (Sophie Lazarus née Ladewig, 1838–1924). In 1916 ownership was transferred to the city of Lübz. The cemetery is said not to have been desecrated during the time of National Socialism . Until 1986 the local branch of the LDPD took over the maintenance, after that the area overgrown and was repaired at the end of 1989. With the exception of one, all gravestones were laid flat on the ground, some of them assigned to false graves . This free-standing stone from the 19th century (Salomon Bendix, 1774–1871) and the huge, ancient robinia lean against each other as if to protect each other. In 2007 the stones were restored and erected again.
