• Bethlehemerstrasse: {10594}. New cemetery begun 1861/62. Use continued uninterrupted until 1921 when the town wanted to close the cemetery because they wanted the unused land.

• Knuechelsdamm : Old cemetery. First mention of it is found in 1804, but it was probably used in the 1700s. There was one death in 1669 (??). Starting in 1927, the town wanted to buy the land for housing; this was finally done in 1942. As late as just before WWII there appeared to be 15 stones remaining. Three stones were brought to the new cemetery in Bethlehemerstrasse in 1950. In 1980, 7 stones were found during land clearing. Further clearing showed an additional 80 or so stones. Also see Elsdorf, Niederaussem and Paffendorf.
  Bergheim data from the booklet "Rheinische Friehoefe, Die juedischen Friedhoefe", by Gert Friedt and Manfred Backhausen was sent by Mr. Friedt and includes some pictures.
