Cemetery Description: |
About 650 feet (200 meters) from the ruins of the Beilstein Castle. There are nearly 100 tombstones, mostly in Hebrew and not readable because of the old oak trees in the cemetery. Most of the 20th century tombstones have no inscriptions. Information gathered by Klaus H.S. Schulte on June 21, 1986.
Additional information donated by Mr. Dieter Peters of Aachen, Germany. For 20 years he has been the cemetery representative and relationship manager of the Landesverbandes der Jüdischen Gemeinden von Nordrhein (the Union of the Jewish communities of the North Rhine area,) and he has amassed a personal database of some 80,000 names and burials.
