Add PhotosThe first Jewish cemetery in Rothenburg was established in the 14th century and used until 1520. It was turned into a Christian cemetery after that and eventually closed altogether and turned into a market square. The area maintained the name "Judenkirchhof" (Jewish Burial Ground) until 1958, when it was renamed Schrannenplatz.
The New Jewish Cemetery was established in 1899 and used until 1938, when the Nazis in Germany destroyed it and the stones within. The Jewish congragation was forced to sell the property to the city of Rothenburg in 1943. After World War II the area was returned to the Jewish community and 40 grave stones were "re-created" to mark the graves, which had been mutilated 15 years earlier. Those stones still exist as of 2013. The cemetery is no longer in use but remains intact as a reminder to the atrocities of the Holocaust.
Other burial spots in the city are:
Alter Friedhof Rothenburg
Neuer Friedhof Rothenburg
Neuer jüdischer Friedhof Rothenburg
