NOTES:

The Jewish community of Unterschwandorf created the cemetery in 1801. The last funeral took place in 1879. It is assumed that in the post 1933 period the Jewish community of Baisingen maintained this cemetery. A historic photograph taken around 1930 showed the cemetery having been well maintained and in good condition, surrounded by a simple fence.
A refurbishment of the cemetery took place in 1969, having been found to be in a dilapidated condition in the 1960s. The gravestones were cleaned up and re-erected and a new fence put in place around the cemetery. Some of the 17 surviving gravestones are now in fragments. The way to the cemetery is sign posted.

Grindelfriedhof-vacated in 1937 bodies moved to Ohlsdorf: During the time of the Plague the Hamburg Senate perforce allowed the founding of a Jewish cemetery within the city, in the "Grindel" district, founded in 1711/13, with circa 8,000-9,000 graves. Former Location: Rentzelstrasse 35-55/Durchschnitt 22-32. From 1834 this was the main cemetery of Ashkenazim & Sefardim in Hamburg as opposed to Altona & Wandsbek. In 1937, the cemetery was cleared. About 6500 gravestones were photographed; the bodies were exhumed and transferred to other cemeteries. Many were buried in a collective grave in Ilandkoppel, Ohlsdorf; around it 80 prominent individuals received their own graves with the old gravestones. Today, the entire area is built up. A plaque has been erected in An der Verbindungsbahn, near the junction with Renzelstrasse. partial Source: Bamberger Family Archives D-70003 Stuttgart, POB 10 04 04, or 91070 Jerusalem POB 70 38 or Bjorn Bamberger, POB 627 Long Beach NY 11561; 516-889-2827.

Neue Steinweg, situated within the Neu-Stadt temporary 1814-bodies moved to Ohlsdorf: Situated within the Neu-Stadt. Tis was a temporary cemetery founded during the period between January and May 1814, in Neue Steinweg, situated within the Neu-Stadt (New City), during the French occupation of the city. There were 57 dead and 18 gravestones. In 1954 an exhumation and reburial took place to the Jewish cemetery in Ilandkoppel within the district of Ohlsdorf.
Ot. Ohlsdorf: The Jewish cemetery in Ilandkoppel within the district of Ohlsdorf was established in 1882/83 by the Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities following contracts with the City of Hamburg, which remained owner of the land. It is the only Jewish cemetery in Hamburg in use today. Through the transfer of the graves of eminent Jews from the former cemeteries in the districts of "Grindel" and Ottensen it is today a significant Jewish cultural monument.

UPDATE: (Koenigstrasse) Founded in 1611, both Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews from Hamburg, Altona and Wandsbek used it up until 1878. The Salomon Ludwig Steinheim Institute for German-Jewish History in Duisburg, Germany recently documented the Ashkenazi part of the cemetery, which is online. The database contains almost 6.000 Hebrew inscriptions dating from 1621 with German translations, commentaries, sources and historical photographs. The names, years of death, the Hebrew inscriptions and their translations into German are searchable both in German and Hebrew here where you choose the cemetery under "Auswahlmenue" and go to "Inschriften" to access chronological order inscriptions one by one or in a particular year under "Jahr".

Frankfurter Rundschau, 17.12.1997, page 24, 290 5 LR6 by Pamela D"rh"fer The gravestones stand next to each other in endless rows There is an iron gate on Muehltorweg (street). The first graves are on the edge towards today's Jahnstrasse. Those of the last 30 years are on the right next to the entrance. A long wide path divides the old from the newer part. It is the only path in the cemetery. The oldest date from 1603 shortly after Graf Philipp Ludwig II allowed Jews to settle, perhaps for economic reasons (banking?). The Jewish population there has been stable at about 5%. Many of the inscriptions on the oldest stones have been illegible for a long time and many have sunk into the ground and are leaning. One stone leaned toward a tree and the tree has grown around it so separation would be impossible. However some very old ones are still legible showing praises of the deceased. The oldest stones are all Hebrew and with integration, more German is present. No Jews returned to Hanau after WWII.
Hanau-Steinheim: Eric Adler eladler@yahoo.com has gotten some of the information, but not the Hebrew names yet. There are about 100 graves. There is information on about 75. from 1870 through 1937.

LOCATION OF CEMETERY: Hardheim (am Hohen Schmalberg, on the road to Würzburg) (Detail).
IN USE: From 1876 until 1939.
NUMBER OF GRAVESTONES: 93 – oldest gravestone dated 1876.
DOCUMENTATION:

1987 photographs of all gravetones and cemetery layout by Zentralarchiv.

PUBLICATIONS:

NOTES:

Prior to 1875 the cemetery in Külsheim was used for funerals by the Hardheim Jewish community (Hundsnurscher/Taddey 1968, page 120).
The Jewish communities of Wachbach, Gissigheim, Zeckendorf/Bayern, Hainstadt and Sulzburg also used the Hardheim cemetery for burials.
The first funeral, that of Schemaia Billigheimer, grave Nr.7, coincided with the consecration of the cemetery by district Rabbi Esslinger from Merchingen, on 27 June 1876. At this time the Hardheim congregation numbered 158 members, the highest ever.
The majority of gravestones are made of sandstone, which have weathered considerably. Those made of granite are in very good condition.
The last funeral, prior to the deportation and murder of Jews, took place on 29 January 1939. This was for David Berwanger, grave No.16.
The cemetery itself has a gate (key can be obtained at the Hardheim Rathaus), and a surrounding hedge. However, there are many breaks in the hedge, and it is easy to walk into the cemetery without opening the gate. The cemetery has six rows of tombstones carefully lined up on the side of a hill, with 14 tombstones per row, plus a few additional tombstones on the side. The inscriptions are in German on one side and in Hebrew on the other. Almost all are legible. The cemetery grounds seem to be reasonably well tended. A listing of each person buried in the cemetery is provided here – scroll to end. Source: Arthur Obermayer.

     Alte Bismarkstrasse: The oldest stone of this cemetery dates from December 31, 1819. The last burial was January 29, 1905. This cemetery no longer exists. The area has been built over. There is no sign of a cemetery ever existing in this location. The town register records that the slaughterer Salomon Samuel died in Oct, 27, 1823. That is the first mention of a Jewish cemetery.
     Blankensteiner Strasse: The community received permission for a Jewish cemetery June 10, 1891. The first burial was on December 31, 1894. The cemetery was reopened in December 1977. Blankenstein was a separate community at one time, but is now a part of Hattingen. This very tiny cemetery belonged to the Blume family. It no longer exists. Supposedly the burials were moved at the request of the community or the family; however Eva Nimmert (Source) finds this questionable. Today it is a housing development and several older inhabitants told her that the cemetery was in the area when the playground is. Supposedly the Blume family ask for money for the land during the "wiedergutmachung", but the government claims the land always belonged to the community. She sees no reason not to believe the Blume family.
     Im Vogelsang: The first burial, that of area, Nathan Roetgen aus Sprockhoevel, was in March 4, 1880. From then until 1917 there were 6 more burials. The cemetery was closed after 1933.

NOTES:

A mortuary was built for this cemetery in 1907 but the interior of the building was ransacked and demolished in 1938/40.
There are differing opinions not only as to the date of the establishment of this cemetery but also where burials took place prior to the establishment of the Hechingen cemetery (Werner 1984 and Werner 1984/85, part 1, pages 159-163. It is thought possible that earlier burials may have taken place in the Jewish cemeteries of Haigerloch-Weildorf and Mühringen.
The Hechingen cemetery was desecrated in 1990 when 95 gravestones were toppled and besmirched with swastikas. 15 gravestones were toppled and partially destroyed in 1993. [Süddeutsche Zeitung, No. 207 (08./09.09.1990), page 3; Stuttgarter Zeitung, No. 171 (28.07.1993)].
A commemorative plaque now lists the names of 22 Jews who were deported from Hechingen.
It is probable that in view of the currently growing Hechingen Jewish community this cemetery will again be used more frequently. Since the graves now fully cover the available cemetery area, an enlargement, planned since 1933, will probably have to happen in the near future.

HEESSEN BEI HAMM: 59073 Westfalen
Heessen, a small village, is located about 5 km NE of Hamm (North side of the Lippe). The cemetery no longer exists. The oldest documentation is held in the mapping section of the land registry office in Hamm. In a map dating from about 1829, "Flurstueck 157", a cemetery of 81 sqm, lies on Kleistrasse surrounded by meadows and open country. The first recorded burial was for Leser Isaac (Blumenthal) 30 Apr 1822. There may have been earlier burials as the Blumenthals were not the first Jewish family to live in Heessen. The last burial in the Heessener Cemetery was in 1883, later burials were conducted in Hamm. In 1944, the cemetery was completely destroyed by a bomb, later it was filled with rubble. Until 1956, maps of Heessen still showed the land as a Jewish Cemetery. In 1985, a house was built on the site, the occupants unaware of what lies beneath them (so I am told).

LOCATION OF CEMETERY:

Middle Ages : 1st close to the Judengasse Am Kieselmarkt and 2nd at the Brückentor near the village of Sontheim. (see Detail).

NOTES:

Two cemeteries existed in Heilbronn during the Middle Ages. The first was in the vicinity of the Judengasse at the Kieselmarkt, which was closed in 1415. The second cemetery was at the Brückentor, on the other side of the Neckar. Jews were expelled from Heilbronn in 1467 when the synagogue and the cemetery became properties of the Emperor. They were subsequently sold to the City in 1490. One gravestone, dated 1408, is now in the Heilbronner Ortmuseum whilst another, dated 1420, can be found embedded in the southern cemetery wall in the Sontheim cemetery.
During the second half of the 17th century the cemetery in Affaltrach was used for burials. A Jewish cemetery was established there in 1840/41 alongside the river Schozach, 1 km southwest of the village of Sontheim, jointly with the Jewish communities of Talheim and Horkheim. The mortuary built in 1845 was destroyed in 1938.

IN USE: from 1738 (or earlier) until 1940 by the Jewish communities of Wallau, Delkenheim, Massenheim, Diedenbergen, Hochheim, Langenheim, Wildsachsen, Nordenstadt, Breckenheim, Medenback and Ingstadt. Source: Kommission fuer die Geschichte der Juden in Hessen submitted by Harmut Heinemann of the Commission.
NUMBER OF GRAVESTONES: 185
HISTORY: This cemetery dates back to the first half of the 18th century. Gravestones from this period are still visible, in spite of vandalism during the Nazi period. The newer part of the cemetery was probably used from around 1842 onwards. The last funeral took place in 1940 (Sally Schoenfeld from Nordenstadt). There is a war memorial for Jewish soldiers who died in WW1 in the middle of the cemetery, as well as a memorial stone for 35 Jews murdered during the Nazi era.

BOOK: From Gure, the annual publication of the Wallau Historical society, Issue N. 5, 1988, translated courtesy of Louis Lowenstein.
Note: While the cited publication does not reproduce the names of the 35 victims memorialized in the cemetery, it does give extensive information regarding the victims from Wallau, including birth dates and in some cases deportation destinations.

A copy of the publication was presented to the Leo Baeck Institute by me together with other materials containing data on the cemetery. I am told by friends in Wallau that an effort is being made to record the inscriptions on the stones in the Jewish Cemetery especially the older ones. A non-Jewish theologian with knowledge of Hebrew was for some time at least assisting with transliterations of the inscriptions. Source: John Paul Lowens JPL25@Cornell.edu.
