History
The Jews of Zündorf originally had no burial ground of their own and buried their dead in Deutz. The cemetery at the corner of Gartenweg and Hasenkaul gave them a burial place of their own. Burials took place here from 1923 to 1942. In 1944, the site was sold under duress to the municipality of Porz.
Today
Six surviving gravestones bear witness to the graves. As a Jewish cemetery, the site is a protected monument.
