Jewish Cemetery Liblar

Highlight • Historical Site

Like all Jewish cemeteries in the urban area of the city of Erftstadt, the cemetery is owned by the synagogue community of Cologne, and the city of Erftstadt is responsible for maintaining the cemeteries.

The Jewish cemetery was occupied from 1877 to 1940. Today there are still five gravestones (mazewot) and a memorial stone. During the National Socialist era, the cemetery was completely destroyed and the gravestones were thrown into the Liblar pit of the briquette factory. In 1961 the cemetery was equipped with five new tombstones.

The cemetery is located in a forest directly on a railway line, the Eifel route near Erftstadt station. It is fenced, but the gate is unlocked. There is no responsible care for the cemetery.

Donatus Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Donatussee belongs to the Villeseen area in the Rhineland Nature Park and is the deepest of all Villeseen. The chain of villas was created from the remaining holes in the open-cast brown coal mine. The lake got its name after the Donatus pit.

Donatus Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Donatussee belongs to the area of the Villeseen in the nature park Rhineland. Within a radius of a few hundred meters there are several other lakes: in the north Upper, Middle and Lower Seas, in the east the Villenhofer Maar, in the south the Zwillingssee. With a depth of 15 meters, Lake Donatus is the deepest of the Villeseen.
The lake itself is under protection of the landscape. Here, all year round protected spawning zones for amphibians and protection and rest areas for other animals are set up, which may not be entered. The steep bank banks are covered by a reed belt. Swimming and water sports are prohibited, but fishing and diving is generally allowed
