Jewish cemetery (Grimmen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jewish cemetery Grimmen was a Jewish cemetery in Grimmen in what is now the district of Western Pomerania-Rügen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is not a protected architectural monument .

description

The cemetery was in the southwest of the city at the end of Karlstrasse, facing the adjacent meadows - now the city park. At the end of the 19th century, that was the still undeveloped outskirts, 200 meters east of the train station, which was completed in 1878.

In the measuring table sheets from 1880 and 1920 there are no other usual signatures with burial place instead of cemetery and the character L instead of †, so the exact position cannot be determined.

history

The Jewish cemetery was laid out in 1834. The last burial in the cemetery took place around 1922. In the 1930s there were around twenty graves with gravestones.

The cemetery was destroyed during the Nazi era and leveled in 1940.

The property was built around 1969. There are no more signs.
