Dissolving the Jewish synagogue
community in Zündorf
and selling off the Jewish graveyard
In November, 1942 the
district court of Cologne dissolved the synagogue
municipality. Their property went to the Jewish
Reichs-Vereinigung. Hence, the district place
Rhineland felt constrained to offer the Jewish
graveyard to the municipality of Porz for sale in
December 1842. The municipality agreed, but
hesitated because supervisory authority didn’t
approve their plans. The imperial security main
office brought the work of the Reichs-Vereinigung to
an end in June, 1943. The upper president for
finances in Cologne functioned as an administrator
and sold the graveyard while public notary Gustav
Witthoff was present in Köln-Deutz on March 23rd,
1944 to the municipality of Porz for RM 750.80, (20
Reichspfennige per square metre). Nevertheless, a
conveyance did not occur because the buyer had not
agreed first. It wasn’t until 11/5/1944 until the
district councils of Porz agreed to the investion.
