The Bad Godesberg Jewish cemetery is now a Jewish cemetery that occupies part of the communal cemetery ( Burgfriedhof ) in Bad Godesberg , a district of Bonn ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

history

Since the 17th century there were isolated Jews living in Bad Godesberg. An existing synagogue association with Bonn was dissolved in 1875. The size of the congregation was 32 in 1808, 56 in 1885 and 109 in 1932. In 1932 the mayor's offices Villip (one person), Lannesdorf and Mehlem (6 people) were attached to the Godesberg community.

In 1730 a Jewish cemetery on the southeast slope of the Godesberg is handed down for the first time. Since the Jews invoked old rights to bury their dead there, the cemetery must have been laid out some time beforehand. When the community of Godesberg acquired the castle hill in 1895, they forbade further burials in this old cemetery. At the same time, the political community gave the Jewish community a piece of land next to the municipal cemetery. Today this Jewish cemetery is located in the middle of the communal cemetery and is run as Department VII.

A Jewish memorial on Aennchenstrasse near the castle cemetery, on which there are 33 more gravestones, is - although often referred to as the "Jewish cemetery" - not a real cemetery, as these gravestones were only located at the foot of the river after the Second World War Godesbergs were discovered and placed there. This memorial stands as a monument under monument protection .
