Beautiful little Christian cemetery with old graves and a magnificent view up to the Großcomburg.

The Jewish cemetery is a little further along the road.

The Steinbach Jewish Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Steinbach, a residential area of Schwäbisch Hall in the Schwäbisch Hall district in northern Baden-Württemberg.

The dead of the Jewish community of Steinbach were initially buried in the Schopfloch Jewish Cemetery (Ansbach district) and from 1747 in the Braunsbach Jewish Cemetery. In 1809, a separate cemetery was built on Steinbacher Straße, roughly opposite today's Limpurg Bridge. The Jewish cemetery has an area of 35.03 ares, of which around half are on a partly quite steep slope next to the road, which merges into a flat platform above. Today there are still 121 gravestones (matzevot), a good third of which are in a dense chain directly next to the road, with inscriptions facing the rising slope, in the upper part of which there are still three short, apparently original rows with their fronts facing the valley. Most of the flat section of land is a meadow without any stones. The period of occupancy was from around 1812 to 1948.

A special feature of the gravestones in the Steinbach cemetery are the artistic structures used on 18 gravestones to abbreviate Hebrew words instead of the usual dots. Among other things, there are various branch, flower and bud motifs, heart, horn, fish and star.[1]

The cemetery was destroyed during the Nazi era, and only some of the gravestones could be re-erected after 1945. Since 1947, memorial stones have commemorated the victims of the Hessental concentration camp and the victims of Nazi persecution in Schwäbisch Hall.
