of Sydney, Australia on May 30, 2010, based on her visit to Beverungen in 2007:
Approximately 2km west of Beverungen/ township on the Dalhauser Straße; on the southern side of the road near the Haarbrück turnoff.
The cemetery was established in c.1790. It then became the primary Jewish burial site for the Jewish community of Beverungen. Access to the cemetery can be arranged through the Rathaus, Stadt Beverungen, Weserstraße, 37688 Beverungen.
The cemetery is in fairly good condition and is maintained by the local town authorities. Many graves are still visible with about 150 still readable. The earliest legible grave is 1852 and there are many 20th century graves. A brief reference to the origins of the cemetery is contained in the chapter "Zur Geschichte der Juden in Beverungen" in Günther, Ralf, Geschichte der Stadt Beverungen, Bonifatius, Paderborn, 1993
