Old Jewish Cemetery: Located originally Nordenwall. Used probably 17th century - 1825. No gravestones are visible. The cemetery may have been used since the Middle Ages by the Jews in Hamm. Despite repeated efforts by the city of Hamm, the old cemetery was closed in 1954. Gravestones were carried to the cemetery at the Umbettungen Ostenallee, the Hamm New Cemetery. [Sept 2012]
