Mehlinger Heath

Highlight • Natural

The Mehlinger Heide is in full bloom in August. On sandy roads you can walk through them. But it is also worth the round to expand the eselsbach and the pond.

The Jewish cemetery in Mehlingen was opened in the 18th century. One of the first to be buried was probably David Levi from Sembach, who died in 1786. The Mehlinger Friedhof was an association cemetery for the Jewish communities in Otterberg, Mehlingen, Sembach, Frankenstein and Kaiserslautern. Even before and during the Nazi era, the cemetery was desecrated several times (see report below from 1923) and finally almost completely destroyed, then restored and later heavily damaged again during maneuvers on the former training area. In the meantime the community has restored it and fenced it in. The cemetery on parcels 294 and 295 covers 17.10 ares (of 38.80 ares of the two plots in total).
