The
Jewish Cemetery in Dieburg
The
cemetery is divided into three parts.
The
oldest part is in the southernmost area and contains the oldest
stones, dated 1715.
This
area used to be entered through an entrance gate in the south wall,
now bricked up.
According
to city records, funerals also took place here between 1600 and 1700.
The
gravestones from this period are made of sandstone, plain designs,
rectangular or with round arches.
The
inscriptions are almost all in Hebrew.
