Jewish cemetery (Plaue)
The Jewish cemetery in Plaue in the Ilm district was laid out in 1826 on a hillside plot between the Ehrenburg and the local Christian cemetery. The cemetery was the burial place for the Jews from Plaue, and the Jews who died in Arnstadt and Ilmenau were also buried in Plaue until the 1920s . The number of Jews in the places mentioned was always small, so that only about 30 burials took place in the cemetery. Today around 25 tombstones ( mazewot ) from the 19th and early 20th centuries are preserved.
