The Jewish cemetery in Drove was occupied at the latest since the second half of the 19th century. However, it is probably older. In 1852, the Drove synagogue community had the cemetery, which was then located in the so-called "Judendriesch" field, newly enclosed. Jewish citizens who died in Kreuzau and Nideggen were also buried here. The cemetery was last occupied in 1941 (last burial of Gustav Roer on June 4, 1941).
