The isolated suburban hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all via a broken masonry wall and a non-locking gate. 20-100 19th-20th century marble and sandstone flat shaped tombstones in original locations have Hebrew and German inscriptions. The property is Jewish cemetery and waste dump or abandoned [unclear]. Adjacent properties are agricultural. Rarely, private visitors stop. Vegetation is a moderate threat disturbing graves; vandalism is a serious threat. Weather erosion is a minor threat. [date-pre 1997]
