Until 1900, the dead of the Jewish community of Grötzingen were buried at Obergrombach Jewish Cemetery northeast of Karlsruhe.[4][1][2] The Jewish cemetery of Grötzingen was built in 1905–6 on Junghälden field[1] on Werrabronner Straße. It is now surrounded by modern buildings.[1]
The cemetery stretches on a 0.18 acres area and has 13 graves,[1] the oldest datable one being from 1905.[2]
The ground of the cemetery is fully covered with screed.
