The Malchin Jewish Cemetery was a Jewish cemetery in the town of Malchin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . He is no longer there.

description

The relatively large burial ground had an area of ​​2900 m² and was located on the northeastern outskirts next to the Mühlentorsiedlung in an industrial area. There are no gravestones on it. Jewish cemeteries were designated as burial places on the official maps and were signed with an L instead of a †. Mostly they were created further outside the cities or communities, mainly in the barn districts or similar remote places, such as here in the industrial area.

history

Jews had resettled in the Malchin as early as 1749. The cemetery was laid out before 1755 and leased by the city to the Jewish community, which the city fathers reported on request from Plau am See, where a Jewish cemetery was also to be built.

There are no more traces of the Jewish cemetery in Malchin today. It is said to have been destroyed and completely cleared away during the Nazi era. Today there is an industrial site here.
