history
The dead of the Jewish community in Fürstenberg were initially buried in the Jewish cemetery in Friedland . A separate cemetery was built far outside the city in 1840 and occupied until 1890. Nothing remains of this first Jewish cemetery in Fürstenberg.
A new Jewish cemetery was established in 1890 and burials took place there until 1939. During the National Socialist era , the cemetery was desecrated and partially cleared. The cemetery was also desecrated in January 1993, knocking over eleven tombstones and smearing a swastika on one .
Only 15 of the original 20 to 25 tombstones ( mazewot ) have survived in the roughly four ares large cemetery .
