Jewish cemetery (Fußgönheim)
The Jewish cemetery in Fußgönheim , a local community in the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis in Rhineland-Palatinate , was laid out in 1821. The Jewish cemetery is located at the confluence of Ellerstadter Strasse and Bahnhofstrasse. It is a protected cultural monument .
The Jews from Ruchheim , Mutterstadt (until 1889) and Schauernheim were also buried in the cemetery. The 18th century gravestones of the Jewish cemetery in Heuchelheim were brought to Fußgönheim in 1939, as the National Socialists had ordered the cemetery there to be cleared.
The cemetery was devastated during the National Socialism .
150 tombstones are still preserved in the 1626 m² cemetery .
