The old cemetery at Hamburger Straße in Berlin,with a monument to the holocaust victims of Berlin in the old Jewish Quarter

---

Although it was destroyed in World War II and hardly has any headstones, it is Berlin's most famous and also most frequently visited Jewish cemetery - also because of it's location within the Jewish Quarter, between many other important places. It was opened in 1672 and was in use until 1827. The most famous person buried here is the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786), for whom a new headstone has been created.
