SHUM Old Medieval Jewish cemetery, Judensand , Mombacher Strasse. 61, 55122 Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

This cemetery has been documented since the 13th century, but is thought to have existed since the 11th century. Due to the repeated expulsion of the Jews from Mainz and the subsequent dissolution and destruction of the cemetery, one can no longer speak of an ideal situation that has grown over time. Only through the initiative of the then community rabbi Dr. In 1926, Sali Levi managed to create a memorial cemetery. There, the tombstones found in all parts of Mainz, some of which were used as building material, were brought together. Among the 196 stones, 6 are from the 11th century.
