Front view of the cemetery

The Alsdorf Jewish cemetery was located in Alsdorf in the Aachen city region ( North Rhine-Westphalia ) on Übacher Weg.

The Jewish cemetery was only occupied from 1909 to around 1938. It was destroyed and leveled during the National Socialist era . There are no more tombstones ( mazewot ). A communal cemetery was set up next to this Jewish cemetery in 1930. Today the Jewish part is integrated into the north cemetery.

In the 1950s, Walter Weil, a former Alsdorf resident, erected a memorial stone bearing the following inscription: "In memory of 27 Jewish Alsdorf citizens who are buried here".
