The Altona Jewish Cemetery, located on Königstrasse, is a site of profound historical significance. Established in 1611, it served the Jewish communities of Altona and Hamburg until 1869. Remarkably, it withstood the tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the horrors of national socialism and the bombings of World War II. The cemetery is notable for its ornate Sephardic tombs and the simpler Ashkenazi graves, including those of many distinguished rabbis. Its rich history and cultural importance have made it a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.
