The Old Jewish Cemetery contains more than 5000 tombs, some of which are many centuries old. The cemetery was established in 1462, close to the Jewish ghetto, and served the local Jewish community for several hundred years. The famous Jewish banker, Amschel Rothschild, is buried here with his family. Partially destroyed during the Nazi reign of terror, the cemetery is now part of a memorial which contains the names of 11,134 Frankfurt Jews who were murdered by the Nazis.
