About this cemetery
The Older Jewish Cemetery in Eisenstadt, on Wertheimergasse, is one of the town's two Jewish cemeteries. Its oldest dated gravestone is from 1679, and it was in use until 1875, when it was fully occupied. A survey in 1922 counted 1,140 gravestones, all with Hebrew inscriptions only; in 2010 there were 1,104. The 2,556 square metre cemetery is a listed monument and is described as one of the most important Jewish cemeteries in Europe.
