The cementery for Sugenheim and surrounding area is on a slope at the edge of a wood on the outskirts of the village of Ullstadt, some 3 km from Sugenheim and goes back to about 1620. Some repair and restoration of foundations of gravestones has taken place in recent years to prevent them from falling over on the steep slope.

WALLAU: 6201 Hesse
     BOOK: From Gure, the annual publication of the Wallau Historical society, Issue N. 5, 1988, translated courtesy of Louis Lowenstein:
"Another sign of Jewish life is the still-maintained Jewish cemetery on the Langenhainer Strasse. It is one of the oldest Jewish burial grounds in the state of Hessen. It is a communal cemetery for Jews from the towns of WALLAU, DELKENHEIM, MASSENHEIM, DIEDENBERGEN, LANGENHEIM, WILDSACHEN, NORDENSTADT, BRECKENHEIM, MEDENBACK AND INGSTADT. [ *] We have record of its existence even long before the Thirty-Years-War (1618-1648). The oldest gravestones still intact date from the seventeenth century. The last burial occurred in 1940, that of Sally Schoenfeld from Nordenstadt.
     A commemorative plaque in the middle of the cemetery attests to the fact that Jewish citizens participated in the First World War from 1914-1918. A second plaque records the names of thirty- five Jews from Wallau and surrounding area who died 1939-1945."
     (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.)
     BOOK: From Juden in Hochheim, 1988, Zechnersche Buchdruckerei, Speyer, by Franz Luschberger: A chapter on "Der Juedische Friedhof" with several photographs. This is the Wallau Cemetery which served Hochheim [*] and other nearby communities. [ *] Erbenheim and perhaps others were omitted from the list above.
     A copy of this book is held at the Leo Baeck Institute. A copy of the publication cited above (1) is also there having been presented to 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.

  Fifty headstones of the Jewish cemetery were cleaned by students and teachers of two colleges in Noerdlingen and Oettingen. The results of the cleaning process were amazing. Inscriptions that had been thought lost could be seen again. A photographical documentation with text translation and genealogical remarks is in preparation.
  Burial lists from the Wallerstein Jewish cemetery exist. These lists were part of the annual tax lists from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Wallerstein was the burial place of Jews from Hainsfarth, Kleinerdlingen, Oberdorf, Oettingen, Pflaumloch and Wallerstein. Lists are at the Harburg castle. Rolf Hofmann (Libanon Strasse 79, 70186 Stuttgart. Contact him for more information.) is doing a transcription and hopes to be finished in the spring of 1999. Source: Rolf Hofmann, Libanon Strasse 79, 70186 Stuttgart, Germany (Harburg Project).
  A Jewish Community probably existed since 1348. A large cemetery. In a marshy area where all tombstones face West, some vandalism in 1926, with lots of old as well as newer tombstones; burials to about 1940. Notable tomb of Michael Riess, i.e., Michael Reese [cf.

  UPDATE: Juedische Friedhof, 86757 Wallerstein, Germany. Person to contact about grave locations: Rolf Hofmann, Libanon Strasse 79, 70186, Stuttgart, Germany.
  The rural (agricultural) cemetery location on flat land is isolated. The cemetery is reached by crossing private property. Access is open with permission of Neumann, school caretaker has the key (according to Rolf Hofmann). The cemetery is surrounded by a hedge or row of trees and has a locking gate. Used for Jewish cemetery purposes only. 20-100 grave markers exist. Adjacent properties are agricultural. Past maintenance includes cleaning stones. No structures. I found that there were piles of dead twigs which had been placed between a number of rows of graves. Whilst I am sure that the twigs had been tidied up and placed there; this would prevent people looking at the graves. It is disrespectful, and if this dry wood was to be set alight it would damage the graves. I have reported it by email to the Mayor (Buergermeister) but I have had no reply.

WANGEN, Baden province, Germany
     Information about cemetery: Dieter Fleischmann (speaks only German). Work: 011-49-7734-9300/0; 011-49-7734-9300/42 (fax). Gailinger Str. 2, 78244 Gottmadingen/Randegg, Germany.
     The inactive cemetery has no caretaker and is not landmarked. The isolated, forested hillside location has no sign. The gated cemetery was unlocked at the time of our visit. A five-foot high, continuous masonry wall surrounds the two acres, without special sections. The oldest gravestone dates from late 18th- or early 19th-century. Of the approximately 200 tombstones in the cemetery, about 25% are missing text (i.e., the sandstone has worn off). The stones are mostly standing but in deteriorating condition. Some tombstones not made of sandstone have legible Hebrew and German inscriptions. I believe the present owner of the cemetery property is the municipality because there is no Jewish community in Wangen. The cemetery is visited rarely. The cemetery was vandalized in the last few years. Past maintenance includes re-erection of stones, patching of broken stones, cleaning of stones. Current Care: apparently none because the cemetery is somewhat overrun with weeds and grass covering the bottom part of many tombstones. Serious threats: vandalism and weather erosion. Moderate threat: security. Vegetation overgrowth and water draining are problems 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. He visited on May 6, 2000 with Dieter Fleischmann. [June 2000]

WERTHEIM AM MAIN: Baden-Wuerttemberg
Name of Cemetery: Juedischer Friedhof; Street address: Eicheler Steige, between the Wertheim castle and the older one of the two bridges over Main river. Years used: 1405 (at least)-1938. Contact persons: Dr. Joerg Paczkowski, director of the "Grafschafts-Museum," Rathausgasse, (Tel. # within Germany: 09342/301-410, within Wertheim: 301-410). Friedrich Lehmkuehler, editor of Wertheimer Zeitung, Marktplatz 4, (Tel. # within Germany: 09342/21066, within Wertheim: 21066, Fax: 09342/6374 in office). The key is available at the Staedtische Fremdenverkehrsgesellschaft, Mainplatz (near "Spitzer Turm"). The cemetery was used by the Jews of Wertheim and Dertingen (today part of Wertheim) and Remlingen (between Wuerzburg and Wertheim). There are about 500 graves with tombstones. Old sources tell us that there have been "hundreds" of burials without tombstones in earlier centuries. According to Oberrabbiner Dr. Loewenstein who has given a talk on the history of the Jews of Wertheim in 1909, the Wertheim Jewish community was "the oldest one in the Roman-German Empire". Although this is unlikely a historical fact, the community must have been older than the oldest tombstone (it is of 1405).
In the 1960's, a professor of the Mainz university translated the 72 tombstones of the 1400's and 1500's. The result has been published in the "Wertheimer Jahrbuch" of the Historischer Verein Wertheim. In 1995 and 1996 Emily Link M.A., of the Institut fuer Judaistik of the Freie University at Berlin, has translated all 492 (or 498?) tombstones. She is now working at the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe to compare her results with the Standesregister of the Wertheim Jews. She will publish the results within the next one or two years in Wertheim. Source: Friedrich Lehmkuehler; address above, e-mail: F_Lehmkuehler@t-online.de.

I actually wrote to the city hall in Wesseling last year and asked if I could pay someone to go out and copy info from several stones. They instead, free of charge, sent quite a bit of info re: the Jews and Wesseling and went to the cemetery and took photographs for me. They are very helpful and gracious.

     The unlandmarked, inactive cemetery has no caretaker. The suburban flat land, separate from, but near, Christian cemeteries, has no sign. The cemetery is located just off a residential street, near Worblingen's Christian cemetery. There is a locked gate; keyholder could not be found. A continuous five-foot masonry wall surrounds the cemetery; current size is ¼-acre, with no special sections. 60-100 tombstones date from, at least, the 19th century. 50%-75% of the stones are missing text (i.e. the sandstone has worn off). The stones all appear to be standing but in deteriorating condition. Some tombstones not made of sandstone have legible Hebrew and German inscriptions. I believe the present owner of the cemetery property is the municipality because there is no Jewish community in Worblingen. Properties adjacent to the cemetery are residential. 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. Current Care: apparently none because the cemetery is almost overrun with weeds and grass, covering the bottom of many tombstones. Within the limits of the cemetery there are no buildings. Vandalism and weather erosion are moderate threats. Security is a slight treat. The vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem, disturbing graves and stones. Water drainage is disturbing tombstones/graves. David W. Albert, 301 East 47th Street, Apartment 14M, New York, NY 10017, 212-888-___ visited cemetery and completed survey on May 6, 2000.

According to a report in the Berlin newspaper "Der Tagesspiegel" (issue of Dec 27th 1998) there is an organization in Zehdenick that found the Jewish cemetery of the town. The cemetery was founded in 1766 and closed in 1898 due to a decreasing number of members in the Jewish community. The cemetery was destroyed in March 1933. The organization formed a place of remembrance. Short time ago the place was opened with a ceremony. The Brandenburg Rabbi and the cantor of the Berlin Jewish community took part. The organization in Zehdenick is called "Sachar / Erinnern e.V.". Source: Eberhard Zastrau etz.usenet@gmx.de
