The 2,170 m² large cemetery served the Jewish community Anröchte already before 1800 as a burial place. The last burial took place in 1997. The 46 gravestones (mazewot) are partly heavily weathered.

The cemetery itself is bordered by a rubble stone wall; numerous poplars provide shade.

The first indication of the cemetery are maps from 1680, which show a short branch channel on the Lippe, which was probably dug for the extraction of earth with which the site was fortified. On the map of Johann Peter Roscher from 1776 it can be seen that the cemetery had already grown up to the Burgmühle by then. A further enlargement did not take place and until its abandonment the area measured 2.85 acres.

The street is named after David Gans (1541 - 1613), the famous Jewish scholar born in Lippstadt.

A barracks camp for around 800 female forced laborers at WMI was located at this site in 1944/45. An unadorned plaque on the former wall indicates this.
