Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.
The 87 tombstones for 94 deceased face east, towards Jerusalem. Five tombstones were placed with their faces facing west. Two memorial stones for murdered family members also face westward. Samson Kahn's grave stele also has a memorial plaque. The Kahn couple's grave stele also had a memorial plate that fell out of the stone in the 1970s.
