The Jewish cemetery Wenkheim is a Jewish cemetery in Wenkheim, a district of the municipality Werbach in the Main-Tauber-Kreis in northern Baden-Württemberg.
At the end of the 16th century, a graveyard was created east of the village in the Great Forest, today directly on the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The Jewish cemetery has an area of 55.80 ares and today there are still 674 tombstones. The oldest tombstone is from 1714, the last funeral took place in 1939.
The dead of Bavarian border communities were also buried in the cemetery, for example from Geroldshausen, Oberaltertheim and Unteraltertheim.

Definitely a burial site worth seeing. The symbolism on the gravestones is particularly fascinating. It's great that the cemetery is open to the public!
