Historical overview
Founded in the first half of 19th Century. Closed: 1933; Red brick wall surrounds the Cemetery. Most of the Matzevot are in poor condition and have German Gothic text and Hebrew. There are many rhyming words expressing pain caused by losing a beloved person. Headstones adorned by floral images. Often one sees symbols of death--broken candles, trees, columns.
