Facts and practical information

The Eschweiler Jewish Cemetery is located in the city center of Eschweiler at the corner of Talstraße and Grachtstraße in the city region of Aachen.

The cemetery was occupied between 1820 and 1941. Today there are still 80 gravestones.

Between 1942 and 1945 the burial place was completely destroyed. As a result, the dead were exhumed in 1956 and reburied in the cemetery in the Pumpe district. After protests by the Jewish community in Aachen, the cemetery in Talstraße was restored and the dead were reburied. The gravestones are laid side by side on the ground.

The cemetery is registered under No. 192 in the list of monuments of the city of Eschweiler.
