The Jewish cemetery in Schwanfeld was laid out in 1579. The Jewish community of Schwanfeld provided the grave digger and the death driver until the end (1940). There is a two-story Tahara house in the cemetery. On the ground floor there is still the stone washstand for carrying out the ritual cleansing (tahara). The last burial in the Schwanfelder Friedhof was that of Miriam Schwab from Rimpar, who died on January 22, 1939.
The cemetery is located on a hill southeast of Schwanfeld. The first dirt road on this street on the right ("Ludwig-Gutmann-Weg") is signposted with "Judenfriedhof". Ludwig Gutmann was the last Jewish resident to be born in Schwanfeld. He died on February 1, 1984 at the age of 82.

The Jewish cemetery Schwanfeld is 1.8 hectares and contains more than 2000 tombstones. A special place to pause.

The Jewish cemetery is unfortunately protected by a fence, so that you can only take a look through the meshes.
