    The Jewish cemetery in Pfaffenhausen was laid out around 1580. In the following centuries it served as an association cemetery for the dead of the following Jewish communities: Bad Kissingen (until 1801), Bonnland, Dittlofsroda, Gemünden am Main, Geroda (until 1911), Hammelburg, Hessdorf, Oberthulba, Untererthal, Unterriedenberg and Westheim.

    Today many tombstones (mazewot) are preserved in the 121 ares large cemetery. To the right of the entrance is the Tahara House.
