history
The Jewish community of Rüdesheim received its own synagogue as early as 1842; in 1848 it consisted of 16 families. The members of the Jewish communities of Rüdesheim and Geisenheim were initially buried in the Oestrich Jewish cemetery until a separate cemetery was established in Rüdesheim around 1890. The area was separated from the general cemetery by a wall. The inauguration took place on the occasion of a first burial on May 16, 1892 by district rabbi Michael Silberstein from Wiesbaden. The last occupations took place in 1945. On the one hand, it was about Rachela Nirenberg (1922–1945), a victim of the Geisenheim satellite camp . The Geisenheim camp was a satellite camp of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp and supplied the Krupp-Essen war community and the Johannisberg machine factory in Geisenheim with workers. The tombstone was set by her surviving sister Sara Nirenberg . Also in 1945 was Sarah Neuman († 17 January 1945) was buried, probably a victim of the satellite camp Geisenheim.
The remaining 30 or so gravestones were erected in 2000.
