Sacred buildings

Urban Thewes and his wife Catharina were a couple from Thalexweiler. In 1918, they erected a stone cross (hence, the name Urban’s Cross) in memory of their late son, Johann Lorenz.

The chapel, which dates back to the 17th century, was renovated in the 1970s.

The Jewish cemetery was built in 1747 and enlarged in 1905 and again in 1923. Until 1831, the deceased of the Jewish communities Neunkirchen and Ottweiler were buried here as well.
