Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish Cemetery in Worms or Heiliger Sand, in Worms, Germany, is frequently called the most arranged surviving Jewish graveyard in Europe,2 despite the way that the Jewish internments in the Jewish zones of the Roman mausoleums begin before it by a thousand years.

The more settled part still contains around 1,300 headstones, the more present part on the mass of the past city fortresses, expanded after 1689 more than 1,200.

The Jewish social request of Worms was produced by the mid-eleventh century, and the most settled headstone still clear dates from 1058/59.3 The graveyard was shut in 1911 when another dedication stop was begun. Some family internments proceeded until the point when the late 1930s and the cemetery is secured and coordinated to by the city of Worms, the Jewish society of Mainz-Worms, and the Landesdenkmalamt of Rhineland-Palatinate.
