Jewish Cemetery Lünen

The Jewish Cemetery Lünen is a former Jewish cemetery in the city of Lünen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is also known as Judenberg. The cemetery, located in Lünen-Nord, is a listed building.

The cemetery, which was originally located outside the city centre – today's Lünen-Nord – on Münsterstraße, at the corner of Goethestraße and Lessingstraße, served as the burial place of the Jewish community from 1690 to 1939. Towards the end of the 19th century, it was given an enclosing wall with an iron gate. In 1909 it was planned to be relocated next to the Protestant cemetery at Wüstenknapp.
In 1938 the gravestones were smashed and taken away. In most cases, these were used as crushed stone in road construction. The next year, the remains were taken to the Old Cemetery to the Jewish Cemetery. A simple plaque bore the inscription after a photo from 1988:
