2nd Jewish Cemetry | Am Berge
2. Jüdischer Friedhof | Am Berge
The gravestones of the second cemetery follow the formal language of the 19th century. The inscription on the front is still in Hebrew, but on the back is the name and the dates of life of the deceased in Latin script, but the dates follow the Jewish calendar. All the gravestones are preserved here. In 1938, the Jewish community was forced to sell the entrance area of the cemetery with two houses of the Chewra Kaddischa (burial society) and the shed for the hearse. This part has no longer been added to the cemetery and one of the buildings has been demolished. Likewise, the "Judenweg", to which the gate at the end of the cemetery led, has been walled up to this day.
