Nr. on the small map: 7 (Kleinheubach)
The Jewish Cemetery is in the forest to the north-west of Kleinheubach in the direction of Laudenbach. You can reach it on foot from a parking lot. Before the cemetery was created in 1730 the deceased Jews of Kleinheubach had been buried in Michelstadt. In the late 17th century and in the 18th century the deceased members of the Jewish communities in Erbach (in the Hessian part of the Odenwald), Laudenbach, Trennfurt and Wörth as well as Miltenberg were also put to rest on the cemetery in Kleinheubach.
Most of the tombstones are made of bunter sandstone and show Hebrew inscriptions. On the newer tombstones the name of the deceased has been written in Roman letters on the back of the stone.
The older and the newer part of the cemetery are at a right angle to each other and are protected as a monument and a conservation area.
The association „Jüdisches Leben in Unterfranken – Biografische Datenbank e.V.“ (link in German only) have not only collected the biographies of those Jews who fell victim to the Shoah, they also made a list list of those who once lived in Kleinheubach.
