The area of ​​the burial ground, located on a small hill in the southeast of the city, was about 9 a. It was in today's Friedrich-Engels-Straße in the area of ​​the gas station / industrial park.

history

The Jewish community of Röbel possibly already had its own cemetery in the Middle Ages, at the latest since around 1700 (1702 is called a "Jewish cemetery"). The last burials were in 1937/38. The old Jewish cemetery was desecrated on November 10, 1938; most of the tombstones sold to a local mason. Although one of the oldest Jewish communities in Mecklenburg was located in Röbel, the last members of which were deported to concentration camps in 1943, there is no reminder to this community. The former synagogue, which had to be sold to a Röbel citizen in the 1930s, served as a garage. In 1950 it was sold to an electricians' cooperative, today it serves as a meeting place for young people and is registered as a monument. There is no sign on the half-timbered house with hipped roof in Stavenstrasse, which is typical of Mecklenburg synagogues. In 1956 the cemetery was cleared when a petrol station was built, and the small hill of the burial site was partially excavated.

In 2002 the property was marked with steles on the initiative of the "Verein" Land und Menschen eV ", but these were destroyed shortly afterwards comes as a remnant from the cemetery (according to the list of monuments).
