    A beautifully maintained complex. It is important that we preserve the memory of our shared coexistence and do not forget what the Nazis did!

    The Jewish cemetery in Witzenhausen is located on the outskirts of the old town in the area of the "Alten Burg" at the confluence of the Gelster and Werra. It was probably created in the 17th century, 266 tombstones from the period 1694 to 1937 are available. The Totenhof is divided into an older and a newer area.

    The Jewish cemetery in Witzenhausen was probably laid out in the area of the “old castle” in the 17th century. In 1765 it was expanded through an agreement with the city.
    In 1985, 209 preserved gravestones were recorded, 56 of which are in the newer part of the cemetery with graves from the 20th century. The oldest stone found was dated “around 1680”.
    In the cemetery there is also a memorial stone with the names of 55 people who were deported and murdered from Witzenhausen during the Nazi era.
