There are no traces of an old cemetery believed to have existed already in the 15th century that was destroyed by the Swedish army in 1643. Another cemetery was established (probably around 1645) on the NW boundary of the Jewish quarter. Enlarged in the first half of the 1800s, it was used for burials until WWII. Although much of this cemetery was wrecked when the Nazi’s used it for a shooting range, there are still over 500 gravestones there (the earliest dating from 1745). Many of the tombstones are notable examples of Baroque and Classicist styles. The cemetery is a designated landmark and restoration work has resulted in clearing of vegetation and fixing of the continuous masonry wall. The site is today used only for the Jewish cemetery. There appears to be only slight threat to the cemetery in terms of security, vegetation, vandalism, and new or future development.
