Jewish cemetery (Alme)

The Alme Jewish cemetery is a burial place for Jews in Alme , a district of Brilon in the Hochsauerlandkreis in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The Jewish cemetery is 1500 m² and is located in Niederalme Vorm Buchenberg (formerly Am Judenknapp ) behind the old paper factory above the Alme waterfall . It can be reached via Moosspringstrasse. The property was not measured and recorded until 1988. The cemetery was probably first occupied before 1824, perhaps before 1750. The last funeral took place in 1939.

There are two tombstones ( mazewot ) in the cemetery . In 1989 the city of Brilon put a memorial stone.
