history
Little is known about the history of the Jewish cemetery in Friedland, which used to be popularly known as “Jewish Friedland”. It was probably created soon after the first Jews settled in 1709. Until 1814, the dead of the Jewish community in Cottbus were also buried in the cemetery. After several extensions, the cemetery was about 19 ares in size. Due to the emigration of Jews from Friedland, the last Jewish resident of Friedland is said to have been buried here in the 1860s. Jews from Lieberose were still buried here until the end of the 1920s .
In 1934 the cemetery was devastated by participants in the Reich Labor Service Leadership School at Friedland Castle . The tombstones ( mazewot ) were then partially used as paving stones. The cemetery was partially restored in 1988. There are still four tombstones on the older part and a number of tombstones have been preserved on the new part.
