history

Before 1855 the Jews from Lippspringe were buried in snakes in the Jewish cemetery . The neighboring community belonged to the Principality of Lippe , while Lippspringe was part of the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1855, the purchase of a piece of land on Fichtenkamp (today Lindenstrasse) outside the city took place. However, the cemetery was neglected and in 1928, when the forest cemetery was being planned, it was abandoned due to neglect and transferred to the city. Further burials were still possible until the opening of the new cemetery in 1934. In 1940 the property was bought by an entrepreneur who wanted to build a house on it. Eight graves were transferred to the forest cemetery in 1941. The old cemetery was not built over and was returned to the city in 1947.

A tombstone has been preserved in the cemetery on Freiherr-von-Stein-Strasse . Five other people were buried there. The grave site or the Jewish cemetery has been registered as an architectural monument under monument number 49 in the list of monuments since October 27, 2008 .
