Jüdischer Friedhof Ahrweiler, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler

The Ahrweiler Jewish Cemetery in Ahrweiler in the district of Ahrweiler is a protected cultural monument.

The Jewish community in Ahrweiler initially had a cemetery on Alter Weg in the direction of Marienthal, of which there are no longer any traces. In 1860, it applied for permission to establish a new burial ground on what is now Schützenstraße. It is not known when the 904 m² cemetery, surrounded by a two meter high and 121 meter long quarry stone wall, was completed. The first recorded burial was in 1871 and the last in 1960. The 66 gravestones that still exist today are made of sandstone and the later ones of granite. Obelisks were used several times as a form for the gravestones. Today, on the northern wall of the cemetery, there is a memorial plaque for the victims of the Nazi persecution of the Jews. The cemetery remained essentially undamaged during the Nazi period.
