The Jewish cemetery Ohlsdorf (German: Jüdischer Friedhof Ohlsdorf or Jüdischer Friedhof Ilandkoppel) also known as Ilandkoppel Jewish Cemetery, opened on 30 September 1883, is a Jewish cemetery in the Ohlsdorf district of Hamburg, Germany. It is the only operating Jewish cemetery in Hamburg and still used for burials according to the Jewish ritual and tradition.
The large abdication and mourning hall was built in 1883 at the expense of the Jewish community and was inaugurated on 4 September 1884. The architect August Piper had chosen the Romanesque style as a model for this domed building in the sense of the prevailing historicism.
