Neckarsulm Jewish cemetery
The Neckarsulm Jewish Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Neckarsulm in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg . It was largely destroyed in 1942, but restored as an enclosed park after 1945.
The Am Waldenberg cemetery next to the municipal cemetery in the Neuberg residential area was laid out in the mid-16th century. The oldest gravestone dates from 1659, the youngest from 1920. The cemetery was shared by the Jewish community of Kochendorf and the Jewish community of Oedheim until the 19th century .
In the spring of 1942, the city of Neckarsulm purchased the cemetery. The tombstones were cleared and used in road construction. After 1945, an attempt was made to restore the cemetery with a few remaining tombstones and rubble piled up in heaps.
Tahara house
The former Tahara house with an old draw well inside is still preserved.
