history
The Jewish community of Jülich already owned an old cemetery , which had to be abandoned because the military claimed the area. Therefore, the new cemetery was laid out in 1816 and occupied until 1942. Today there are still 50 tombstones ( mazewot ), including six double graves .
The memorial erected in 2001 in the immediate vicinity of the cemetery commemorates the Jewish citizens from the Jülich region (Jülich, Aldenhoven, Linnich, Titz and Inden) who were murdered during the National Socialist era .
