The Jewish cemetery was probably laid out in the middle of the 19th century on an area of 0.41 hectares about three kilometers outside the town of Schivelbein. It is surrounded by a wall and divided into quarters by lime tree alleys. At the back are the remains of the foundations of the mortuary. Around 500 people are said to have been buried here and around 60 matzevot have been preserved. Many of the gravestones have German inscriptions on one side and Hebrew inscriptions on the other. The cemetery was destroyed during the Reichspogromnacht.

The cemetery survived the Second World War almost unscathed. Destruction and vandalism began in 1945 and continue to this day (graffiti). The mourning halls became car repair shops that encircle the well-preserved administration building at the entrance. Ten upright stones, 36 horizontal stones, the broken pieces of 36 others and the frames of 92 gravestones have been preserved. The cemetery has been a protected cultural monument since 2006 and the grounds are maintained.

Holiday home of the Verein "Ferienkolonien für jüdische Kinder", named after its long-standing chairman Adolph Mayer. From 1908, up to 100 Berlin children were accommodated here for their summer vacation. The house was located on a hill not far from the sea, close to the forest, somewhat away from the actual bathing life. In addition to the fresh sea air, excursions to Heringsdorf, Swinouml;nde or Rügen were part of the vacation program. A small library with reading and song books kept the children occupied even on rainy days.

The high main façade caught the eye from afar. A large rose window and a prominent entrance portal gave the building a striking appearance. The inscription was emblazoned above the entrance: „וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ, וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם“ – And they shall make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst (Exodus 25:8).

At the end of the 19th century, Hermann Herzheim had a new store built with shop windows up to the 2nd floor. Later, his grandsons remodeled the store in the style of modern department store architecture. 1925 marked the 100th anniversary of the Herzheim department store. During the Nazi era, the Herzheim family also came under pressure due to calls for a boycott. In May 1938, they were forced to sell the business for less than it was worth. Karl-Theo Herzheim, the last owner, and his wife were only able to escape deportation and survive the Shoah by fleeing to the British Mandate.
