The approx. 5000 m² cemetery is located on a hill between the streets “Vorberg” and “Auf dem Sande”. For many years it was the central cemetery for the region as far as Verden , Thedinghausen , Walsrode and Syke . The 179 preserved tombstones in the cemetery for the Jewish deceased date from the years 1714 to 1935. The oldest and most valuable Jewish tombstones in the entire region are located here. Some tombstones are destroyed or badly damaged: tombstones are missing, the tombstones have broken through, are placed at an angle or there are only plinths left.
