Old Jewish cemetery Bochum, mourning hall The Jewish cemetery Bochum is located on the Wasserstrasse in the Wiemelhausen district as part of the local cemetery there. The cemetery was first occupied in 1918. The mourning hall was built in 1917. Before 1918 there were two cemeteries in the city center. They were abandoned when the main station was built. The dead were relocated to Wiemelhausen. That is why there are tombstones of the former Jewish cemeteries. There are many new graves in the cemetery, since the municipality has grown strongly by moving contingent refugees from Russia and Ukraine.

On 21 April 1945, a Junkers 352 flown by Major Friedrich Anton Gundelfinger took off on its way from Berlin to Salzburg. At around 6 a.m., while attempting an emergency landing, it gets stuck in the treetops just in front of a clearing and crashes and explodes near the village of Börnersdorf in the Ore Mountains. All but two survivors, one of whom dies shortly afterwards, are killed and buried in the nearby cemetery. This incident later became famous in connection with the scandal surrounding the alleged Hitler diaries published by STERN. The wooden crosses erected later have disappeared and the victims stand on a black gravestone with other war dead, Börnersdorf cemetery and church, Börnersdorf, Saxony, Germany, Europe
