The Jewish cemetery in Sayn , a district of the town of Bendorf in the district of Mayen-Koblenz in Rhineland-Palatinate , was built after 1723. The Jewish cemetery is located south of the core town at an altitude of about 150  m above sea level. NHN in the forest. The closed cemetery can be reached from the south via Meisenhofweg. On the other hand, from the center of the town, via a partly steep and difficult to walk footpath. This connects to the Heinzenweg and, since it was erected more recently, has ended at a chain link fence surrounding the cemetery. Before that, it led across the cemetery as a middle path leading to the access on the east side.

history

The Sayner cemetery was initially created as a private cemetery after 1723. In the years 1870 and 1871 the facility was expanded, parallel to the establishment of the Israelitic sanatorium and nursing home for the mentally ill by Meier Jacoby in Sayn. From 1940 until it was closed on November 11, 1942, the institution acted as a collection camp for the deportations to the extermination camps that were carried out in 1942 . There is evidence that 146 patients from the Jacoby institute were buried here.

On November 13, 1988, a memorial stone was set up in the entrance area by the city of Bendorf and at the instigation of the ecumenical working group. The cemetery area covers an area of ​​2503 m 2 .
