Facts and practical information

The Haaren Jewish Cemetery is located in the Haaren district of the city of Aachen in the Aachen city region.

The Jewish cemetery was occupied from 1838 to 1938. There are still five gravestones. The cemetery was completely destroyed in 1938. About 40 gravestones are said to have been used as building material. Only in 1997 some grave monuments were recovered on a private property. Of these, four stones and about 70 fragments were put together to form a memorial wall in the cemetery.

Before 1838, the Jews from Haaren buried their dead in the cemeteries Lütticher Straße in Aachen as well as Broichweiden.

At the Jewish Cemetery Haaren, a memorial plaque of the project Ways against Forgetting reminds of the events around the cemetery in the years 1938/1939. On it is engraved:
