    It is not the Jewish cemetery, but the memorial site for the concentration camp prisoners killed at Lüneburg station.

    The old Jewish cemetery is "Am Neuen Felde 10", opposite the "Klinikum Lüneburg".

      The memorial in the zoo near the Lüneburg railway station is reminiscent of a mass grave of 256 concentration camp prisoners, whose transport from a satellite camp of Neuengamme concentration camp in Wilhelmshaven was bombed on April 7, 1945. Up to 80 of the mostly injured and weakened prisoners who could not be transported any further were shot by their guards on April 11, 1945 and are buried here with the victims of the bombing.
