project information

The old Jewish cemetery on Pulsnitzer Straße, the oldest still preserved in Saxony, has an area of 3,500 square meters. From 1753 to 1896 there were 1263 burials, preserved are 815 grave inscriptions.

Between 1999-2002, HATiKVA e.V., under the direction of Heike Liebsch, sponsored by the Saxon State Ministry and with the help of several employees, including Gil Hüttenmeister, who took over the recording and translation of the inscriptions, compiled a complete cemetery documentation. In 2002, the publication on it appeared. In 2019, Dan Bondy was commissioned by HATIKVA e.V. to edit the documentation and enter it into EPIDAT, the epigraphic database of the Salomon Ludwig Steinheim Institute for German-Jewish History e.V. at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

This edition was supported by the Hermann Reemtsma Foundation.
