Earliest known Jewish community was second half of 19th century. 1930 Jewish population was 51. Before 1848, only 3 Jewish families were permitted. Modern religious society with prayer-hall was recorded in 1879. Independent congregation originated in 1896 and disbanded in 1931. Numerous Jewish communities with this cemetery existed allegedly in 16th century. The unlandmarked Jewish cemetery definitely dates from early 20th century with last known Conservative or Progressive/Reform Jewish burial in 1981. The flat suburban site, part of a municipal cemetery, has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all (as a municipal cemetery) via a continuous masonry wall. There is a locking gate to municipal cemetery; original special gate of Jewish part is walled now. The pre- and post-WWII size of cemetery is about 0.08 ha.
20-100 20th century stones, all in original location, are marble and granite finely smoothed and inscribed stones or multi-stone monuments with inscriptions in Hebrew and Czech. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. Within the limits of the site is a pre-burial house (originally for Jewish funerals only but used for all municipal cemeteries). The cemetery has no special sections. The municipality owns Jewish cemetery property. Adjacent properties are agricultural and municipal cemetery. Occasionally, private visitors and local residents stop. This cemetery was not vandalized. Local/municipal authorities and Jewish individuals within country did restoration. Now a regular caretaker (caretaker of all municipal cemeteries) is paid by a local contribution. Slight threat: vandalism and proposed nearby development.
