Jewish cemetery (Bad Laasphe)

The Bad Laasphe Jewish Cemetery is located in the town of Bad Laasphe in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district in North Rhine-Westphalia . As a Jewish cemetery , it is a listed building and has been on the list of monuments since 2004.

73 gravestones have been preserved on the more than 2,000 m² Puderbacher Weg / Zum Lehrberg cemetery, which is directly adjacent to the municipal cemetery .

The cemetery was occupied from 1751 to 1939.

The former meadow property was a gift from the then ruling Count Friedrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein (1708–1756) to his Jewish subjects for future burials. The biographer Friedrich Wilhelm Goebel (1812–1902) dated the donation to the year 1751 and aptly located it: A grass square on the left on the road from Laasphe to Puderbach .
