Résumé en anglais
The conference “Jüdische Friedhöfe und Bestattungskultur in Europa / Jewish Cemeteries and Burial Culture in Europe”, held from 3 – 6 April 2011 at the Jewish Cemetery of Berlin-Weißensee, was a follow-up of the international conference on “ Urban Burial Culture from the Enlightenment to the Early 20th Century ” organised by ICOMOS Germany in Munich in 2005 (ICOMOS Journals of the German National Committee XLIV). Using the example of Cologne the conference in Munich already gave an overview of the “ Changes in Jewish Sepulchral Culture in the 19th Century ”.The conference in Berlin concentrated on Jewish burial sites and tombs, using a historically comprehensive approach – from the catacombs in Rome to modern solutions of the 20th century – and by making international comparisons on a European scale. On the initiative of Berlin’s Jewish Community, the Senate and the Parliament of Berlin decided in 2006 to sign up the Jewish Cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee for the Tentative List of the Federal Republic of Germany for the nomination as a World Heritage site. In cooperation with the Jewish Community of Berlin and the New Synagogue of Berlin Foundation – Centrum Judaicum Berlin’s monument authority started in 2007 an in-depth inventory and development project for the evaluation and maintenance of this vast cemetery with more than 110,000 tombs. For this project it was possible to enlist the Technical University of Berlin as scientific partner; it provided an interdisciplinary team under the direction of Johannes Cramer and Ingo Kowarik. As early as in 2008 a pilot project focussing on an exemplary inventorisation of tombs was presented to an international group of experts and advisers, among them ICOMOS experts from Germany and abroad. The results of this pilot project were evaluated for the future structure of the inventory. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) is a non-governmental organisation campaigning worldwide for the protection and conservation of monuments, ensembles and historic sites as well as for the preservation of cultural heritage. In line with the World Heritage Convention ICOMOS as advisory body is involved in the work of the World Heritage Committee and of UNESCO. The German National Committee of ICOMOS also focuses on this task, especially through Preventive Monitoring. With this documentation ICOMOS Germany and Berlin‘s monument authority are presenting Berlin‘s project for a preparation of a World Heritage nomination of the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee. In addition, the publication provides an up-to-date overview of World Heritage initiatives in connection with Jewish heritage in Germany, for example initiatives from the Federal States of Rhineland-Palatinate and Hamburg. Most of all, however, the proceedings of the Berlin conference open up for the first time possibilities of comparison for the evaluation of Jewish cemeteries and sepulchral art in a European context. Such comparisons are also required by the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention. The editors of this publication would like to thank the co-organisers of the Berlin conference for the excellent preparation and good cooperation: Berlin’s Jewish Community, the Foundation New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum, and the Consortium of Cemetery and Monument – Central Institute Foundation and Museum of Sepulchral Culture, Kassel. We also wish to thank the HORTEC office in Berlin for the very good organisation and realisation of the conference, as well as the office Dr. Jacobs
&
Hübinger Berlin for giving useful advice. Finally, we are grateful to our colleagues at the Technical University Berlin for their continuous support of this project. Without the financial support from the Senate Department of Urban Development Berlin and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media the conference and publication would not have been possible. And without the hospitality of the Jewish Community of Berlin and the Foundation New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum, which enabled us to hold a conference in the rooms of the synagogue in Oranienburger Strasse and in the entrance buildings of the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee, the gathering in Berlin would surely not have been such a memorable experience for all the speakers and guests.
