 As is customary for Jewish cemeteries, this too had to be set up at a distance from the town, in this case on the Mergelberg, directly above today's Schützenhaus.Jews from all over Central Baden and beyond were buried in this cemetery.During the 1938 pogroms, a number of tombstones were knocked over by the Nazis, but the turmoil of war prevented the Nazis from completely destroying this valuable burial site and it was preserved for posterity.
