Jewish cemetery (Oestereiden)
The Oestereiden Jewish cemetery is located in Oestereiden , a district of the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Rüthen .
It is at the intersection of Ringer Straße and Im Rosengarten . The deceased Jews of the communities Oestereiden, Langenstrasse, Heddinghausen and Effeln were buried on it.
The cemetery was established towards the end of the 18th century. The first mention of Jews in Oestereiden took place in 1700. The last funeral is said to have taken place in 1910.
The originally 745 m² cemetery was cleared during the Nazi era . Temporary shelters for refugees and those bombed out were built on the site. After the barracks were demolished in the 1950s, the four remaining tombstones ( Mazewot ), including the tombstone of the burial from 1910, were set up on a 50 m² fenced lawn. These tombstones are badly weathered and are no longer in their original place.
In 1986 the cemetery was entered in the list of monuments of the city of Rüthen.
