A little trailer I live next to this cemetery and it is not open at all
Kirkut - a cemetery founded at the beginning of the 19th century, fenced with a brick wall (formerly made of stone), located in Oleśnia at Mill. Within the boundaries of the cemetery marked out on a rectangular plan is a funeral chapel. The gravestones at the cemetery are mostly made of sandstone, but also of granite and marble. Matzevot inscriptions are in Hebrew and German.
This is the only witness of an organized Jewish community once existing in Olesno. The synagogue built in 1887-1889 was burned during the crystal night in 1938.
The only trace of the existing Olesko Jewish community is the cemetery - the Jewish cemetery, located at Młyńska Street in the area once called "Jewish Switzerland" due to its location in a picturesque corner of the city, in the Młynówka valley. In 1814, the Jewish community in Olesko established a cemetery-kirkut outside the city, implementing the ordinance of the Prussian king of May 24, 1814, which ordered Jewish families living more than one mile from their place of residence, to take care of their own burial, under pain of expulsion from the current place stay. The ordinance had an immediate effect and in the same year cemeteries were established in Oleśno, Głubczyce, Koźle, Zębowice, soon after in Świdnica, Oława, Nysa, Gliwice and Racibórz.
The area of the cemetery in Oleśno located at an altitude of 235 x 238 m a.s.l. is a rectangle measuring 72 x 39 m. It was surrounded by a stone fence, fragments of which have survived to this day. Until then, deceased other denominations and religions were buried in the cemetery around the wooden church. Body of Christ. During the period of greatest development of the religious community in Olesno in 1868, a funeral chapel was erected at the Jewish cemetery - "Bet tahara" or "house of cleansing", and the original stone wall was demolished and replaced with a brick one. The red brick tahara, preserved to this day, topped with a window with the motif of the Star of David, now empty, with one stone bowl for ablution-ritual cleansing, was once a place for washing the corpses that had to be buried as soon as possible. Until the 1960s there was a ritual table on which the corpse was laid.
