Jewish cemetery (Gleidingen)
The Gleidingen Jewish cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Gleidingen , a district of the Lower Saxony city of Laatzen in the Hanover region . It is a protected cultural monument .
history
The cemetery on the stub road "Am Judenfriedhof" ( Lage ), an extension of the Dammackerweg, has probably existed since at least 1749. The first burial to be found, the oldest gravestone , dates back to 1840 (Levi Selig, 25th stone). For a long time the youngest tombstone was that of the couple Arnold and Else Frank, who were buried here in 1936 and 1938 (30th stone). A total of 52 graves with 51 gravestones have been preserved from the time before the Second World War.
The Jewish community of Hanover has been burying their dead here since 1997, as the cemetery was not considered fully occupied. For this purpose, the original cemetery area (628 m²) was expanded to include existing arable land (636 m²).
Until the mid-1990s, the annual commemoration also took place on November 9th, the anniversary of the pogrom night , in the Jewish cemetery. Since then, it has been carried out at the memorial in memory of the Jewish community in Gleidingen and the synagogue that was located on Thorstrasse. Today the cemetery is owned by the State Association of Jewish Communities of Lower Saxony Kdö.R.
