Jewish cemetery, Buttenhausen : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jewish cemetery, Buttenhausen
The Jewish cemetery of Buttenhausen is a protected heritage site above the village of Buttenhausen, which forms part of the municipality of Münsingen, Germany in the district of Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, some 37 km west of Ulm. The cemetery is situated on a hillside on the south-western edge of the village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= An historical tour of Buttenhausen )〕 ==History==
The Jewish community at Buttenhausen was established by Baron Phillip Friedrich von Liebenstein by a charter of 7 July 1797.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History of Baden-Württemberg Jews in Buttenhausen )〕 Motivated by the desire to stimulate economic activity in the village, he invited twenty-five Jewish families to settle there under his protection. One of the privileges granted to the new community was the right to establish a cemetery above the new Jewish quarter. By 1870, Buttenhausen's Jewish residents numbered 442 in a total population of 800 and lived in 46 of the village's 100 houses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Permanent exhibition "Jews in Buttenhausen" in the Bernheimer´sche Realschule )〕 The oldest legible inscription in the cemetery dates from 1802; the last burials took place in 1943, shortly before the final deportations of Jews from the village. Today, 399 gravestones survive from the period of the cemetery’s use.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Datenbank - Grabsteine auf dem jüdischen Friedhof in Buttenhausen )〕 A memorial stone near the entrance to the cemetery commemorates the now vanished Jewish community of Buttenhausen. Between 1940 and 1943 elderly Jews from the whole of the German Reich were forcibly sent to the so-called ''Jüdisches Altersheim'' ("Jewish Retirement Home"), namely the vacated quarters of Buttenhausen’s Jews. From there, they were despatched to death camps. They are commemorated by a sculpture in the cemetery made from sections of railway track by the Swabian poet and singer-songwriter Thomas Felder. The cemetery shows clearly the development of various gravestone forms and inscription styles from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century. Whereas the oldest stones are simply decorated with Hebrew inscriptions, later ones are more impressively ornate and often indicate the geographical origin of the deceased. Since Jews were prevented from obtaining gravestones in the Nazi period, wooden ''stelae'' were erected on their graves (examples of which are now displayed in the town hall). They were replaced by simple gravestones n the 1960s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= MÜNSINGEN )〕
