A Jewish community arose at Grevenbicht early in the nineteenth
century. At first, Jews residing in Grevenbicht prayed at the
synagogue in nearby Sittard. The Jewish cemetery at
Grevenbicht dates to 1803. It is located atop a former Roman
cemetery mound near the Heilige Kruisstraat and is referred to
locally as 'et Jodenbergje (The Jews' Hill).
In 1818, the Jewish community at Grevenbicht was designated as an
independent Bijkerk or local community within the district
of the Ringsynagoge or regional Jewish community at
Sittard. In the same year, the Grevenbicht community built a
synagogue of its own, located on the present-day Weidestraat. The
Grevenbicht synagogue was restored in 1870 and again in 1886.
The Jewish community at Grevenbicht was dissolved in 1905. The
former synagogue was renovated by its owners in 1966; no traces of
its original function remain visible. The cemetery Het
Jodenbergje is maintained by the Jewish community at
Sittard.
