Of course you will come here to see Dr. Franz Kafka. But also the others are like open air museum. If you are careful about the graves, you will see small rocks on them. It means that grave has been visited a short time ago. It shows people come to visit the souls. RIP

With an area of ​​101,430 m2 and the number of tombstones, it has the primacy of the largest Jewish cemetery in the Czech Republic. Since 1958, it has been protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Since its foundation until today, it has served as Prague's main Jewish cemetery. There are two ceremonial halls in the cemetery. The original Neo-Renaissance hall stands on the highest point of the cemetery at the main entrance to the complex, designed by architects Bedřich Münzberger and Alfons Wertmiler, and was built between 1891 and 1893. Behind it is the so-called house of purification of the Beit Tahara and the morgue in the Classicist style (see photo). About 25,000 tombstones and memorials and symbolic graves of Holocaust victims have been preserved in the cemetery. In addition to perhaps the most famous grave of the writer Franz Kafka, we can also find tombstones of the Waldes, Petschk, or Jiří Orten and Ota Pavel families.

S plochou 101 430 m2 a počtem náhrobků má primát největšího židovského hřbitova v České republice. Od roku 1958 je chráněn jako kulturní památka České republiky. Od svého založení až dodnes slouží jako hlavní pražský židovský hřbitov. Na hřbitově se nacházejí dvě obřadní síně. Původní novorenesanční síň stojí na nejvyšším místě hřbitova při hlavním vstupu do areálu podle návrhu architektů Bedřicha Münzbergera a Alfonse Wertmilera, a byla postavena v letech 1891–1893. Za ní se nachází takzvaný dům očisty bejt tahara a márnice v klasicistním stylu (viz foto). V areálu hřbitova se dochovalo asi 25 000 náhrobků a památníků a symbolických hrobů obětí holokaustu. Kromě asi nejznámějšího hrobu spisovatele Franze Kafky tu najdeme i náhrobky rodin Waldesů, Petschků, či Jiřího Ortena a Oty Pavla.

(Translated by Google) A quiet place in the middle of the busy streets of the big city. The walk among the tombstones overgrown with ivy, in the shade of mature trees is beautiful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to forget about the hectic world around us for a few moments. (Original) Místo klidu uprostřed rušných ulic velkoměsta. Procházka mezi náhrobky porostlými břečťanem, ve stínu vzrostlých stromů je nádherná. Doporučuji každému, kdo chce na pár chvil zapomenout na hektický svět kolem nás.

Nice calm park like cemetery with Kafka's grave. Lots of examples of different grave styles. Currently in use.

Once you have entered, the custodian locks the gate and tells you to donate money in the spirit of 'Jewish tradition' or you won't get out.

(Translated by Google) A quiet and very emotional place to think and stop over time. (Original) Klidné a velmi emotivní místo k zamyšlení a zastavení se v běhu času.

Place where Franz Kafka was bueried. Hartbreaking writings on number of tombs rembembering people killed in concentration camps...

As with all cemeteries, this one is peaceful. Really peaceful. You can buy a map with additional info for a mere 1 euro, and it will guide you to see the most important or impressive tombstones. The ivory that has covered everything in sight gives it a spooky, yet bohemian appearance. Feel free to stroll along the unmarked paths and read the tomb stones of people long gone.

mysteriously relaxing

(Translated by Google) Quiet and cozy grave (Original) 조용하고 아늑한 묘

(Translated by Google) Ota Pavel, Franz Kafka ... etc. A place with atmosphere and a reminder of the past. It is worth visiting, slowing down, walking and thinking. (Original) Ota Pavel, Franz Kafka ... atd. Místo s atmosférou a připomínka minulosti. Stojí za to navštívit, zpomalit, projít se a zamyslet.

(Translated by Google) Sometimes I go through it here. Very nicely arranged place, one calms down a bit, stops, .... There are no statues (Jewish tradition), but in the oldest part it is very nicely arranged (art noveau). Whoever didn't come here to see is worth it. (Original) Občas si to tu projdu. Moc hezky upravené místo, člověk se tu trochu zklidní, zastaví, .... Nejsou tu žádné sochy (židovská tradice), ale v té nejstarší části je to moc hezky upravené (art noveau). Kdo tudy nešel, ať se podívá, stojí to zato.

(Translated by Google) Nice well-kept cemetery. First and foremost, of course, we wanted the grave of Dr. Visit Franz Kafka, which we also found - there are signs. Even so, the cemetery is worth a visit. The memorial plaques for the victims of the Holocaust along the wall make one very thoughtful. We are grateful that we did not have to experience this time - in this sense "Shalom"! (Original) Schöner gepflegter Friedhof. Vorrangig wollten wir natürlich das Grab von Dr. Franz Kafka besuchen, welches wir auch gefunden haben - Ausschilderung ist vorhanden. Aber auch so, ist der Friedhof einen Besuch wert. Die Gedenktafeln für die Opfer des Holocaust entlang der Mauer stimmen Einen sehr nachdenklich. Sind wir dankbar, dass wir diese Zeit nicht erleben mussten - in diesem Sinne "Schalom"!

very pretty

Beautiful cemetery, probably most famous because writer Franz Kafka was buried here. It has a lot of trees so you can walk around and observe most if it in the shade. Very impressive over all. Male visitors, please be respectful and cover your heads when visiting. Bring a hat or use a kipa available at the entrance for free.

one of the most peaceful places i have ever been.

Very beautiful and big cemetary. Was very calm when we were there.

(Translated by Google) An impressive place that only makes the breaks in Jewish life clear. Plaques of families and artists on the cemetery wall testify to this. You can pause and think between old graves overgrown with ivy, especially on warm summer days. The way to Franz Kafka's grave is well signposted, but you can easily walk past the last sign as it is twisted. (Original) Ein beeindruckender Ort der der die Brüche jüdischen Lebens nur zu deutlich macht. Gedenktafeln von Familien und Künstlern an der Friedhofsmauer zeugen davon. Zwischen alten, von Efeu überwachsenen Gräbern lässt es sich besonders an warmen Sommertagen innehalten und nachdenken. Der Weg zum Grab Franz Kafkas ist gut ausgeschildert, jedoch läuft man am letzten Hinweisschild leicht vorbei da es verdreht ist.

(Translated by Google) The Jewish cemetery has its atmosphere typical of this community. It is nice and well maintained. (Original) Židovský hřbitov má svoji atmosféru typickou této komunitě. Je hezký a udržovaný.

(Translated by Google) Not only for Kafka admirers a worthwhile destination for a contemplative walk. Ivy-covered tombstones, fallen tombstones in contrast to the pompous tombs of the Jewish Prague bourgeoisie - witness to a largely lost world ... reachable quickly and easily by metro. (Original) Nicht nur für Kafka-Verehrer ein lohnenswertes Ziel für einen besinnlichen Spaziergang. Efeuumrankte, umgefallene Grabsteine im Kontrast zu den pompösen Gruften des jüdischen Prager Großbürgertums - Zeugen einer leider größtenteils verloren gegangenen Welt... Mit der U-Bahn schnell und unkompliziert zu erreichen.

(Translated by Google) Definitely worth seeing (Original) Sehr sehenswert

(Translated by Google) Respect for the dead and awe in front of the grave of Franz Kafka. (Original) Σεβασμός προς τους νεκρούς και δέος μπροστά στον τάφο του Franz Kafka.

(Translated by Google) A place of silence in the city. Interesting and also oppressive to go through the grave rows and read the whole name. Especially the memorial stones for the Holocaust victims. When visiting please pay attention to the special rules of Jewish cemeteries. (Original) Ein Ort der Stille in der Stadt. Interessant und auch beklemmend durch die Grabreihen zu gehen und die ganzen Namen zu lesen. Vor allem die Gedenksteine für die Holocaust Opfer. Beim Besuch bitte auf die besonderen Regeln jüdischer Friedhöfe achten.

(Translated by Google) Even if you have no connection to Judaism - visit this cemetery. Take a walk away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis of Prague. Pay a visit to the grave of Kafka and his parents. It's easy to find - right down from the entrance. It may be about 200 meters. Enjoy the shady old trees and pay attention to the imposing tombs. They are easy to read because they are labeled in German. They partly reflect the higher society of Prague. Maybe they would like to put a stone on a grave. They were there and thought about the deceased. In Judaism you are dead if you are forgotten. When you moved through the desert, you covered the graves with his. As a result, they were not looted by animals. The exhibition hall is also impressive. This cemetery was opened in 1890 (Original) Auch wenn man keinen Bezug zum Judentum hat - besuchen sie diesen Friedhof. Gehen sie fernab des quirligen Treiben der Metropole Prag spazieren. Statten sie dem Grab von Kafka und seinen Eltern einen Besuch ab. Sie finden es leicht - vom Eingang aus rechts runter. Es mögen ca. 200 Meter sein. Genießen sie die Schatten spendenden alten Bäume und schenken sie den imposanten Grabmälern ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Sie sind gut lesbar da sie in Deutsch beschriftet sind. Sie spiegeln teilweise die höhere Gesellschaft von Prag wieder. Vielleicht mögen sie ein Steinchen auf einem Grab ablegen. Sie waren da und haben an den Verstorbenen gedacht. Tod ist man im Judentum wenn man vergessen ist. Als man durch die Wüste zog bedeckte man die Gräber mit seinen. Dadurch wurden sie nicht von Tieren geplündert. Imposant ist auch die Aussegnungshalle. Eröffnet wurde dieser Friedhof 1890

(Translated by Google) Quiet nice place .. (Original) Klidné hezké místo..

(Translated by Google) Very nice cemetery with Art Nouveau elements in the oldest part. According to Jewish tradition, you will not find a single statue there, maximum reliefs. The main road to the center of the cemetery is very photogenic in autumn, when the colored leaves are blown everywhere. (Original) Moc pekny hrbitov s Art Nouveau prvky v nejstarsi casti. Podle zidovske tradice tam nenajdete ani jednu sochu, maximalne reliefy. Hlavni cesta do stredu hrbitova je na podzim, kdyz je vsude navate barevne listi, velmi fotogenicka.

(Translated by Google) A place that is beautiful for its peace. In Jewish cemeteries they love that incredible peace, unpaid monuments and those beautiful epitaphs. I learned that my great-grandfather was a Polish Jew, so I already know why it draws me there so terribly. (Original) Místo které je nádherné svým klidem.Na židovských hřbitovech milují ten neskutečný klid,nepreplacane pomníky a ty nádherné epitafy.Dozvěděla jsem se ,že můj pradědeček byl polský Žid,tak už vím,proč mě to tam tak strašně táhne.
