The Israelite cemetery is located west of Reckendorf on a forest slope, accessible via the chapel path branching off the "Lourdes Chapel" on the main road. It was surrounded by a massive stone wall that was renovated after 1945. In the older part of the cemetery there are many gravestones made of sandstone, in the lower part some stones made of marble with rich ornamentation. With the exception of the eastern side, the cemetery is surrounded by mixed forest. The entrance gate to the cemetery is locked, but you can get the key from the town hall if you are interested, phone: 09544-20307.

"The Jewish community of Reckendorf had buried their dead at the Jewish cemetery Ebern before 1798. The growing Jewish community of Reckendorf had already been working for a long time to build its own Jewish cemetery." In 1798, the Jewish community was able to build a plot of land for the purchase of a 300 gulden vineyard The oldest tombstone (Mazewa) on the 25.10 ares cemetery dates from 1798. The cemetery is west-facing and not eastward as usual, surrounded by a massive stone wall, and in the older part there are many tombstones Sandstone: today there are 394 tombstones left. "
