On the Jewish cemetery of
Diespeck, that is situated on a hill to the east of
the village, there is a well kept complex with a
memorial for the members of the congregation who
were killed in World War I.
In the background of the complex, infront of the
cemetery wall, there is a memorial stone, that has -
below military symbols (a helmet and a sword with a
laurel wreath) - the following inscription
Die isr. Gemeinde in
treuem Gedenken an ihre fürs Vaterland gefallenen
Söhne1914 – 1918
(the Jewish
congregation in loyal memory of their sons, who were
killed for their country /1914-1918)
To the left and the
right of those stones, eleven symbolic gravestones
have been put up, on which the names of the fallen
soldiers were commemorated. The inscriptions have
faded and can no longer be deciphered.
