history
It is unclear when the cemetery was established. It lies on the southern moat of the former old castle of Burgholzhausen. The cemetery was owned by the Rodheim synagogue community. The dead from Rodheim vor der Höhe , Petterweil , Burgholzhausen and Ober-Rosbach were buried here. At times it also served as a burial site for the Jewish dead from Köppern , Ober-Erlenbach , Ober-Eschbach and Nieder-Eschbach .
In the years 1842 and 1882/83 there were extensions to the size of 2,146 m².
During the November pogroms in 1938 , the National Socialists destroyed the burial site. After the Second World War , the remaining tombstones were erected in the shape of a square in 1945 and a memorial stone was erected in the middle . It bears the inscription:
“To the memory of those who are buried in this cemetery and / whose names / could not / could not be determined / the panel is dedicated to / eternal memory "
