About this cemetery
The Jewish cemetery in Hamburg-Ohlsdorf, also called Ilandkoppel, was opened on 30 September 1883 and extends over eleven hectares. It is the burial ground of the Liberal Jewish Community of Hamburg. It took in gravestones from the Ottensen cemeteries, which were closed in 1934 and 1937. Near the exit is a burial site with an obelisk honouring Jewish soldiers who died in the First World War.
