A first Jewish cemetery in Warburg was established in 1687 in the Mollhauser Graben in front of the northwestern town wall - in the Zwinger area - of Warburg's new town. The land was leased from the town. This cemetery was occupied until about 1828. It had been extended in 1758, 1772 and 1796. In 1828 the town sold the plot after a legal dispute with the Jewish community, which the latter had lost. No gravestones are preserved from this period.
