On the Jewish graveyard in Porz-Zündorf nine graves
can be recognized. All graves are put on with the
marked side of the gravestones facing east/southeast.
They are in the middle of the graveyard close to
each other on a surface from approx. 12m ². Our
visit on 1/27/2004 led us to the assumption that we
have discovered another grave. Up to now literature
only assumed eight graves, a ninth one was
recognizable to us: It is hidden and is approx. 20 m
away from the group of other graves. Though, our
discovery turned out to be a "flop":

Mr and Mrs Rüh tried
to help us to throw light on our discovery and to
determine whether stone block we found was a
gravestone or not. However, they couldn’t identify
the rock to be a gravestone and thus we remained at
a loss again. Meanwhile it turned out that the stone
was a part of the wall that surrounded the area of
the graveyard.
The visible graves are covered by stones and not
decorated with flowers like Christians would do. The
graveyard creates a very neglected impression.
Partially gravestones are painted with graffiti or
chalk.
