A place in the Ruhr for Jewish citizens for 700 years.
A very old sandstone wall was built as protection. In this there are approx. 400 - 450 individual graves, on an area of approx. 7,500 square meters.

An extremely interesting place with a special atmosphere, burial place probably since the 14th century, secured since the 16th century. I've always wondered why it wasn't polished under the Nazis. A doctor from Lohr gave an expert opinion at the time: Due to the enclosure and the fact that hardly any people come here, it is a retreat for nature that is particularly worthy of protection. And the Nazis also had it with natural edification. In doing so, the man from Lohr actually managed to ensure that this square survived the Nazi regime unscathed. If you want to know exactly, you can read it here: collenberg-main.de/media/19840/juedischer_friedhof_reistenhausen.pdf

Since 2022 there has been an information board next to the locked entrance.

The Jewish cemetery in Reistenhausen has an interesting history and old graves that were classified as natural monuments in 1939. A tranquil place that inspires reflection and can be easily incorporated into a hike.
