The old Jewish cemetery in Eisenstadt is located on Wertheimergasse in the municipality of Eisenstadt in Burgenland. The Jewish cemetery is a listed building.
History: The oldest known dating of a stone in the cemetery refers to the year 1679. This is the tombstone of Hirz Kamen, who died on July 3, 1679 (23rd Tammuz 5439). In 1875 the cemetery was fully occupied. At the end of August 1875, a new area for the "younger Jewish cemetery" was purchased. An inventory in 1922 revealed 1,140 tombstones with only Hebrew inscriptions. In 2010 there were 1104 tombstones in the cemetery.
