OFFENBACH-FRIMSCHBERG: Rhineland-Palatinate
Offenbach am Glan {10921}
Names on web.
     The oldest cemetery is above the town. The oldest legible stone dates from 1765, and there is mention of it in the Spier taxation records of 1865. The last burial was before 1894. The cemetery is a steep 15 minute climb in a northwesternly direction from outside the city.
     The cemetery (with registry number 135?) is 2355 square meters and is surrounded by a 210 meter wall that was originally 1.3 meters high but is now mostly collapsed.
     There are three sections of the cemetery which show the development and change of the Jewish life there. The later shows a change in tombstone style and in 1838 include the first German inscriptions.      Der Friemschenberg ist ein Gemarkungsnamen, also ein Berg ungefähr 2 Kilometer ausserhalb von Offenbach-Hundheim. Vor 1969 hiess der Ort Offenbach am Glan. Der bei Ihnen genannte Friedhof "Offenbach-Hundheim" ist der neue Friedhof von Offenbach-Hundheim. Der Friedhof am Friemschenberg ist der alte Friedhof, der 1887 geschlossen-in Amtssprache heisst das AUFGELASSEN- wurde.
     Offenbach Friemschenberg is about 2 km from Offenbach- Hundheim. Before 1969, the town was called Offenbach am Glan. This cemetery was closed, or rather abandoned, in 1887.Source: u.stemler@hit.handshake.de (Udo Stemler-Schillo)

This cemetery also served Ovenstaedt's Jewish community. " Not long ago, I discovered grave stones of my family that had been used as steps along the Weser (river passing Petershagen). We cleaned the stones and also restored them and put them back in the cemetery in Petershagen at the same place from which they originally came. However, they are flat on the ground and need to be righted. The MINDEN Jewish community is responsable for Petershagen cemetery. Please contact me if you are interested in restoration of any of this cemetery." Source: Ralph Mendel, P.O.BOX 115, 91000 Jerusalem, Israel. Tel/Fax : 972 54 657 1176. ralph2910@yahoo.fr

PHILIPPSBURG: 76661 Baden-Württemberg
     Philippsburg is a small town 31 miles north of Karlsruhe and 19 miles west of Bruchsal. Location: 49d14m N 8d27m E. It is also almost south of Speyer, but on the right side of the Rhein river. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was one of the most important fortress towns along the Rhein river, besides Strasbourg, Fort Louis and Mannheim.
     The fortress was razed by Napoleon. It used to be occupied by German as well as French forces all through its history. It is mentioned very often during the times of Louis XIV and XV. All during those times, since it existed as a fortress, Jews were living in Philippsburg, although not necessarily continuously.
     We visited the cemetery in Philippsburg last July ('96). It is in good condition. We only have marked down the dates and names of related people. The Rathaus would have lists of all the graves there. Also probably the local stonemason, as the grandfather of my wife, Moritz Neuburger, was the Jewish teacher and preacher in Philippsburg and who buried everybody in that cemetery. He gave the names to the stonemason to repair the tombstones after the war. Source: Herbert Kolb; e-mail: TheKolbs@worldnet.att.net

     The inactive cemetery, which is not landmaked, has no cartaker. The isolated rural hilly location is surrounded by farmland, fields, and trees, and is visible from ¼ mile away. There is a low masonry wall with a locked gate, but no sign. The cemetery key is held by the border control between Germany and Switzerland, about 1/2 mile from the cemetery (manned by only one or two laid-back officers). Current size of cemetery is 2-3 acres, with no special sections. The 400 tombstones date from the early 19th to mid-20th century. Approximately 25% of the stones are missing text (i.e. the sandstone has worn off). Most of the stones are standing and have legible Hebrew and German inscriptions. I believe the present owner of the cemetery property is the municipality, because no Jewish community exists in Randegg. The cemetery is visited rarely. The cemetery was vandalized occasionally in the last ten years. Past maintenance includes re-erection of stones, patching of broken stones, cleaning of stones, but apparently no current care. The cemetery is almost overrun with weeds and grass, covering the bottom part of many tombstones, especially the older tombstones, located on top of the hill back towards the forest. Vandalism and weather erosion are moderate threats. Security is a slight threat, with uncontrolled access from the five-foot high wall. Vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem, disturbing graves and stones. David W. Albert, 301 East 47th Street, Apartment 14M, New York, NY 10017, Phone: 212-888-3058 completed survey May 6, 2000.

The cemetery contains the graves of Jews from both Rauischholzhausen and nearby Wittelsberg. The cemetery is located on a hillside in a park called Landschafts Schutzgebiet near the Gefassversuchsstation Phytotron. The street leading to this is Obere Hohle. The cemetery appeared undamaged. There were many people from Wittelsberg and Holzhausen buried there. Some also from Mardorf. The oldest grave I could read was 1870, but the older stones were no doubt the worn ones with all Hebrew which I could not read. The newest stone I saw was from a death in 1954. Based on the photos I took, it appears there were about 50 upright stones. Source: Eric Bloch; bloch@execpc.com 2200 W. Rochelle Ave., Glendale, WI 53209

umerous tombstones in old and very old part of cemetery which is well tended, although nature has made inroads. Additional data from Arline Sachs, sachs@nova.org : The very large cemetery is in Reistenhausen (1 k. from Fechenbach), up in the hills. The Priest from Fechenbach (Collenberg) took us there. I believe he got the key from the mayor of Reistenhausen. Perhaps 1/2 dozen burials in last 50 years. All but the very old ones legible, all in Hebrew. The Priest from Fechenbach also has a record book from the 1800s listing all births, marriages & deaths from that town. In his letter to me he said this had been the cemetery for Wuerzberg, although it seems a bit far for that.

     Cemetery is on outskirts of the village, and serves the Jewish communities of Kitzingen and Mainstockheim. It is somewhat difficult to find. A small lane through the surrounding vineyards leads up to it. It is thought to be over 500 years old. All dead buried here, from 1822 onwards until 1875, were recorded in the "Matrikel" book of the Jewish community of Roedelsee, kept by the Catholic rectory of the village. The gates of the cemetery are locked and the key is kept by the mayor. In reasonable condition, although rather overgrown.

ROTENBURG an der Fulda: 36199 Hesse
Recently visited by Maggie Linz (survey pending) at linzmarg@pilot.msu.edu [June 2002]
      UPDATE: The Rotenburg an der Fulda cemetery has been thoroughly researched by Dr. Heinrich Nuhn (with help: He doesn't know Hebrew). He has mapped the cemetery out. I have seen the Hebrew epitaphs. However, his work is published on the website of Jacob-Grimm Schule in Rotenburg. To access the list of burials, you need to enter the Individual Modules site, then "the Jewish Cemetery of Rotenburg" at the bottom of the page (click "next"), then when a general photo of the cemetery comes up, click on "weiter". Finally, there is a section entitled Alle Grabstaetten, where the cemetery is divided into four parts. Clicking on the description of a gravestone (in German) brings you to a photo of that gravestone. Source: Maggie Linz and Ellen Stepak estepak@zahav.net.il [April 2005]

Burials for this town were in Gross Gereau until 1923. There were only a total of 6 burials here. There might have also been some during WWII from Gross Gereau. The then mayor of Russelsheim is said to have stated, "As soon as R. is "judenfrei" (free of all Jews) this cemetery too will be destroyed." For years before this time, Russelsheim also used a separate section of the general cemetery with no separate wall. p. 375 Verschwundene Nachbarn, by Angelika Schleindl.
