A grid gate leads to the grounds of the modern Jewish cemetery. This was established at the latest in the 18th century in the former bastion, a strip only five meters wide next to the Aula regia. Presumably, the majority of the graves date from the 19th century; however, due to the severe weathering of the gravestones, a precise dating is no longer possible.
After the Nazi takeover, the Jewish cemetery was expropriated in 1935. All 25 gravestones were relocated to the Jewish cemetery in Ober-Ingelheim. During the redesign of the access to the Aula regia in 2002, the gravestones were returned and, as far as possible, set up at their original location.
At the back end of the cemetery, there is an information panel with detailed explanations about the cemetery. The key for the access gate to the cemetery can be borrowed at the visitor center and museum at the Kaiserpfalz.
