Jewish cemetery (Liblar)

Partial view

The Liblar Jewish cemetery is located in the Liblar district of Erftstadt in the Rhein-Erft district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). Like all Jewish cemeteries in the urban area of the city of Erftstadt, the cemetery is owned by the Cologne Synagogue Community , and the city of Erftstadt is responsible for maintaining the cemeteries.

The Jewish cemetery was occupied from 1877 to 1940. Today five tombstones ( mazewot ) and a memorial stone are erected. During the Nazi era , the cemetery was completely destroyed and the tombstones were thrown into the Liblar pit of the briquette factory. In 1961 the cemetery was equipped with five new tombstones.

The cemetery is located in a forest directly on a railway line, the Eifel route near the Erftstadt train station . It is fenced, but the gate is unlocked. There is no responsible care for the cemetery.
