The Jewish cemetery of Memmelsdorf in Lower Franconia is north of the town and has an area of 33.40 ares. Today about a hundred tombstones (Mazevot) still exist. In 1813, 240 people made up half of the Memmelsdorf population of Jewish faith. The first burial in Memmelsdorf Cemetery took place on July 8, 1835, the last in November 1937. Men and women are buried in separate rows in about 113 individual graves. The cemetery was restored in the 1950s. The area was reduced by moving the cemetery wall by 50 meters.

A place of silence and thoughts, unfortunately, the cemetery is no longer completely preserved. But still you think differently about some things.

This place is worth looking at and thinking about.
If you look at the inscriptions on the tombstones, you can read on some that the deceased served in the 1st World War, in the 2nd their family was then killed.
