Local amateur historian Peter Conrad will lead a tour of the small Jewish cemetery.
The Jewish cemetery in Rodalben was inaugurated on February 24, 1876 “occasionally for the burial of the widow Bähr,” according to Conrad. Berta Katz was the last person to be buried in the cemetery on September 12, 1936. Today the cemetery belongs to the Jewish community of Rheinpfalz (Speyer). According to an agreement between the federal government, the federal states and Jewish organizations, the city receives a grant of 1,500 euros a year for the maintenance of the site.
The Jewish cemetery on Klinkenberger Weg is hidden behind a hedge. According to Conrad, it is the “last remaining testimony of the Jewish community in Rodalben” and a memorial to history.
In case of bad weather, the tour will take place September 6 at 3 p.m.
