The Jewish cemetery with 52 graves on an area of 1245 square meters is located somewhat hidden in the Dühlholz to the east of the town. The cemetery in Sachsenhagen has existed at its present location since the middle of the 18th century. There is evidence of Jews in Sachsenhagen since the beginning of the 17th century. The Jews from the neighboring village of Bergkirchen (Schumburg-Lippe) also belonged to the community. In 1823, the Jewish community of Sachsenhagen consisted of 16 men, eleven women and 20 children. Sachsenhagen also had a synagogue.

Little is known about the history of the Jewish cemetery in Ermsleben. It was destroyed during the Nazi era and afterwards, demolished and built on elsewhere. It is surrounded by a wall on one side and a fence on the other. The grounds are laid to lawn. A memorial stone from the GDR era commemorates the Jews murdered during the Nazi era.

The cemetery is located at the junction of Meisdorfer Straße / Pechhüttenweg on the outskirts of the town, next to the former gasworks.

Even before the November pogroms in 1938, the mayor of Coppenbrügge, Friedrich Beckmann, pushed for the removal of the Jewish cemetery. In 1935, he asked the district administrator of the Hameln-Pyrmont district to have the cemetery closed.

At the turn of the century, only one Jewish merchant family lived in Bisperode. There was therefore no sufficient reason to establish a Jewish cemetery. The Spiegelbergs were buried in the Christian cemetery on the outskirts. The small family burial site was once surrounded by a  cast-iron fence and was thus clearly separated from the Christian graves.

Hertha Neufeld was born on 14.1.1886 in Berlin and died on 16.1.1975 in London. She was the younger sister of the famous social work pioneer Siddy Wronsky. In Berlin, where she lived until 1938, she held a leading position with the "Jüdische Kinderhilfe e.V." (Auguststrasse), that was founded after the end of the First World War to help immigrants from East European countries and their children. It rendered a variety of services, especially in the fields of health and education.
