even though i did not have time to see it the judenfriedhof (jewish cemetery) is worth mentioning. located on a path just above the burg metternich it was the burial place for beilstein's jews for over 700 years. in 1840 30% of beilstein's population was jewish. during the nazi regime all of the jews of beilstein were evicted and none of them ever returned.
