Experience the solemn atmosphere of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Fürth. Many renowned rabbis, such as Meschullam Salman Kohn, and philanthropists, including Alfred Nathan - founder of Bavaria's first infant clinic - are buried here. The ancient gravestones reveal much about the history of Fürth's Jewish community. Spanning nearly 20,000 square metres, the cemetery remains one of the oldest, largest, and most significant cemeteries in Germany and Europe.
