Today however, the cemetery is a historical monument. It is neatly maintained. Most people come here to see the WWI and WWII Jewish victim monuments. It’s a pretty sombre place.

    They have a happy hour, Cuban food and music and serve families too. You can sit outdoors if you like. The booze is great. It’s not, however, the place to try the dry white and red wines that the Rhine area is so famous for. Definitely order some meat. They’re really good with meat.
