On June 26, 1881, the Jewish cemetery on Karlsruher Straße in Rastatt was consecrated with the participation of the town, the Catholic and Protestant priests and a large number of citizens. This was a milestone for the Jewish citizens of Rastatt. Before 1881, the deceased of the Jewish community in Rastatt were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Kuppenheim, which had existed since 1693.
City archivist Oliver Fieg will lead a tour of the Jewish cemetery on September 21 at 1 pm. The meeting point is the entrance to the cemetery on the corner of Karlsruher Straße and Gerwigstraße. Male visitors are asked to bring a head covering.
In addition to the history of the cemetery, including its preservation during the National Socialist era due to bureaucratic infighting, the tour will focus on the life stories of the Jewish citizens of Rastatt who are buried here.
It is not necessary to register for the tour.
