Exterior view of the Flörsheim am Main Jewish cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Flörsheim am Main ( Main-Taunus-Kreis , Hessen ) was first mentioned in 1447, but the location of this cemetery is unknown. In 1666 a new cemetery was built, which has been preserved to this day. It is located between Flörsheim and Hochheim, a little off the road to the Wiesenmühle near the Wickerbach .

The 3600 m² cemetery was destroyed during the Second World War and only a small part could be restored. A memorial plaque has been commemorating the dead since 1947.
