Jewish Cemetery Sondershausen

Highlight • Historical Site

“The Jewish cemetery in Sondershausen could be laid out at the end of the 17th century when the modern Jewish community was established in the city: in 1699 the area was purchased for a Jewish burial site south of the city on the Spatenberg. The then "protected Jew" Alexander Cantor acquired the property. The oldest tombstones (from the early 18th century) are in the area to the left of the entrance gate (about 25 rows of graves). On the area to the right of the gate are seven rows of newer tombstones from the years 1885 to 1939; the last burial was in 1939 (Selma Baruch). The older tombstones are mostly made of local shell limestone.”

Spatenberg Tower (Bismarck Tower, Sondershausen) – Touringen stamp station No. 109

Highlight • Monument

A true masterpiece of architecture.
But they have a real sense of humor in Sondershausen. They make you walk up the steep hill to the tower, and then they say, "The key is in the forester's lodge." Exactly my kind of humor 😝😅

Lieutenant Rybalko Crash Site Memorial

Highlight • Monument

A small, inconspicuous memorial erected in honor of Lieutenant Pilot Mikhail Vladimirovich Rybalko. On September 27, 1979, during a reconnaissance flight, the then 22-year-old Soviet Air Force pilot's MiG-21 fighter jet encountered engine problems at an altitude of approximately 800 meters between Bad Frankenhausen and Sondershausen. Although Rybalko received clear radio orders to eject, he did not use the ejection seat. Instead, he pulled the already burning aircraft over the Borntal residential area of Sondershausen with his last remaining speed, as otherwise the aircraft would have crashed there pilotless. The plane crashed about 400 meters from the last apartment blocks on the slope in the Possenwald forest, killing Rybalko.
