A memorial for all time. Against the incorrigible. And while Jewish cemeteries are sometimes described as "unkempt" here on komoot, it should be noted that what appears unkempt in a Christian cemetery is far from being so in a Jewish one. Their location—as in this case—is often hidden or even on the outskirts of towns, which is usually due to centuries of persecution and exclusion, but also partly to ensuring the peace of the dead. For a better understanding, see, for example, https://www.juedische-friedhoefe.info/friedhoefe-nach-regionen/schleswig-holstein/ahrensburg/informationen.html.

When we cross this bridge, we've completed about half of the journey on our regular e-bike tours to Heiligenstadt. On this really beautiful Leine cycle path.

On the eastern edge of the town, the cycle path runs directly along the vineyard. In the past, wine was intensively grown in Witzenhausen. This can be proven from the monasteries' books. Today, only a few areas on the rocky slope are still cultivated. Today, cherry and berry wines are more commonly produced in Witzenhausen.
