VĚNUJE MĚSTO CHEB

Hugo Zuckermann, who was born on 15 May 1881 in Cheb, became famous during the World War I for his war song Österreichisches Reiterlied. A collection of Zuckermann's poems under the title Gedichte was published posthumously by his friends. On 23 November 1914, Hugo Zuckermann was severely wounded on the Russian front and subsequently taken to a hospital in his hometown of Cheb, where he died of his wounds and typhoid fever on 23 December of that year at the age of 33. In 1927 his artistically made tombstone by the architect Richard Herrmann was unveiled in the Jewish cemetery, which was created thanks to a collection initiated by the local Jewish religious community. This original tombstone, like most other tombstones in the local Jewish cemetery, was destroyed during World War II. The current monument by architect J. Šimůnek commemorating the Jewish cemetery, which served the local community since 1874, and Hugo Zuckermann was unveiled on 12 October 1969. The local Jewish religious community and the town of Cheb were responsible for its creation.
