Jewish cemetery (Oestrich)
The Oestrich Jewish cemetery is located in Oestrich , a district of the city of Iserlohn . It is on Kampstrasse, next to the Protestant cemetery.
When this 200 m² cemetery was opened is unknown. The burials of the brothers Simion and Michael Moses can be found on September 9, 1835. The last burial took place in 1914.
From 1835 to 1856, 24 Jews from today's districts of Letmathe and Oestrich found their final resting place there. A consistent burial of Letmath Jews did not take place in this cemetery. In addition to Oestrich, the two cemeteries in Hagen-Hohenlimburg were used.
A memorial stone was erected in 1961 . In front of it, a foundation stone of the old Oestrich synagogue is set into the ground. The tombstones ( mazewot ) have been removed. The original size of the burial place is marked by road plates.
