A very old cemetery, going back to 1059 when the first Jews were buried here . Burial stopped 1911 . Something like 2500 tombstones in the old and new sections together. Very nice . Admission free . Closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays.

We visited as part of a guided walking tour arranged by our river cruise line. This part of the tour included a visit to the synagogue with the Torah scrolls that were saved during the Krystallnacht. The cemetery included the grave stones that were reclaimed after the Nazis had used them as stairs after their rise to power in Koblenz. There is a contemporary memorial for the victims of the Holocaust. Another very moving experience during our adventures along the Rhine River.
