Jewish cemetery (Lübeck, Schönböckener Strasse)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jewish cemetery was a Jewish cemetery in the St. Lorenz district of Lübeck .

When the members of the Jewish community were granted settlement rights in Lübeck itself during the French period in Lübeck, in 1810 they built another cemetery in addition to the previous cemetery in Lübeck-Moisling . It was in front of the Holsten Gate on Schönböckener Strasse and was in use until 1894.

The cemetery, only 471 square meters in size and 37 graves (1935/36), was closed and leveled after 1936. Individual tombstones were brought to the cemetery in Lübeck-Moisling. Even after the end of World War II , the cemetery was not restored. When the Jewish Trust Corporation transferred ownership of the Jewish cemeteries in Schleswig-Holstein to the Jewish community in Hamburg on December 2, 1959 , this cemetery was excluded. The site was left to the Hanseatic City of Lübeck with the assurance that it would undertake any necessary relocation free of charge. A new factory was built on the property.
