Worms 2014 – Heiliger Sand – Rabbinental

Worms 2014 – Heiliger Sand – Rabbinental
Valley of the Rabbis.

The Jewish cemetery. It dates from AD 1034 and the oldest gravestone shows a date of AD 1058/59 (Jewish year 4819). The cemetery was in use until 1911, although some burials took place until the 1930s. It is considered the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe.

A new cemetery was used since 1910 and this one was only used for those who had family graves here. I don't know the present status, whether new burials are allowed. It is quite full too.
