Jewish cemetery (Lübeck-Moisling)

The Jewish cemetery in Lübeck-Moisling is considered the largest Jewish cemetery in Schleswig-Holstein .

history

In 1656 the first Jews who were not allowed to stay in Lübeck settled in the Gutsdorf Moisling. In 1667 the owner of Moisling, Gotthard von Höveln , placed it under Danish sovereignty. The first synagogue in today's area of the city of Lübeck has been located here since 1727 .

The Jewish cemetery on Niendorfer Straße was laid out in the 17th century and expanded in 1861. It has an area of almost one hectare and is enclosed with a high brick wall. The oldest preserved tombstones ( mazewot ) date from the first half of the 18th century. The funeral hall built in 1910 by architects Carl Hahn and Alfred Runge has been preserved to this day.

After the Jewish community in Lübeck was destroyed by the Holocaust , the cemetery was transferred to the Jewish community in Hamburg on February 29, 1960 by the Jewish Trust Corporation , which was registered as the owner in 1953 after lengthy disputes. The cemetery was not used for a long time until the Lübeck Jewish community grew through immigration in the 1990s and new graves were dug on the edge of the old grave areas.
