Jewish cemetery (Schornweisach)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jewish cemetery in Schornweisach in the Middle Franconian district of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim was a Jewish burial site that was laid out in 1712. According to sources, the complex was “not far from the church”. The exact location is not known, as no traces of the cemetery have survived.

From around 1579 to 1877 there was a Jewish community in Schornweisach , which in 1712 laid out a burial place near the village church. After there were even violent disputes with the Protestant population at funerals, the cemetery had to be abandoned at the instigation of the Christian authorities between 1750 and the middle of the 19th century. The graves were cleared away and the site was used for other purposes.
