history
Jews lived in Essen as early as the Middle Ages. In the 19th and especially in the early 20th century, the Jewish population grew considerably.
The Jewish burial site is located in the southwest of the Huttrop Park Cemetery and has been in use since 1931 until today. There are currently 335 tombstones . A memorial stone commemorates the persecution during the Nazi era . Around 36 tombstones from the older former Jewish cemetery in Lazarettstrasse are set up separately in the northern area . The mourning hall in the adjacent Schulzstraße was built in 1931 in connection with the construction of the cemetery. It was designed by the Essen architect Hermann Finger and by the architects Ernst Knoblauch and Eberhard Haakshorst after the Second World Warchanged. It has been a listed building since 1986. The cemetery is fenced in and secured with barbed wire.
