Jewish cemetery (Barntrup)

Jewish cemetery in Barntrup

The Jewish cemetery in Barntrup , a town in the Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia , was probably built at the beginning of the 19th century. The Jewish cemetery on Hagenstrasse is a protected architectural monument .

history

The Jewish community in Barntrup already owned a cemetery on Sibbentruper Strasse, which was last occupied in 1890. The cemetery on Hagenstrasse was laid out before 1840 and was occupied until 1936. Today there are still twenty tombstones ( mazewot ).

When Moritz Rülf visited in 1935/36, three Jewish families were living in Barntrup. The Jewish community of Barntrup owned a synagogue with a school house and the cemetery. The cemetery was in a worthy condition at the time.

The school house - a donation from 1872 - was rented. According to the deed of foundation, the net rental income had to be divided equally among poor Jews and Christians.

Rülf suggested selling the synagogue, which had not been used for a long time. In 1937/38 the synagogue was actually sold through the intermediary of the Detmold broker Max Schuler.

On November 15, 1937, the Jewish communities of Barntrup, Alverdissen and Silixen came to the Bösingfeld community, which was then called the Bösingfeld-Barntrup Jewish community .
