Two well kept Jewish cemeteries. One is a Jewish cemetery at the "Hauptfriedhof"; contains a small chapel. The other is at the "Ostfriedhof" where about half of the original graves are standing and well maintained, the other half was destroyed by World War II bombings. Neither cemetery appears to have an alphabetical list, though they do maintain records. The Jewish community in Dortmund is located across the street from the synagogue. It covers the whole region and has been helpful in locating particular graves: We also visited this cemetery in June l995. It was in excellent condition. Updated address is Jewish Gemeinde office, Wolfgang Polak, Judische Kultusgemeinde Gross-Dortmund, Prinz-Friedrich-Karl-Strasse 9, 4600 Dortmundthe.
