history

Little is known about the history of the Jewish cemetery in Wolgast. According to Berghaus, Wolgast only had 3 Jewish citizens out of 6637 inhabitants. The cemetery appears to be a mixed cemetery. The name Kirchhof in the table sheet from 1880 and the partially + - signature for Christian and partially L - signature for Jewish give an idea of ​​this. Assumption: suicide z. B. were not allowed to be buried in church cemeteries - but maybe here? He's very small. This thesis was confirmed in 2006 by the discovery of old Christian and Jewish tombstones. In the case of separate Jewish cemeteries, the inscription "Burial place" was otherwise used in the MTB 1880 and these cemeteries were usually further away, even very remote and hidden outside the respective city.
