The Jewish cemetery in Wevelinghoven is located at the Zehntstraße opposite the driveway L142. The plot was acquired in 1868 by the Jewish community in Wevelinghoven, after the old Jewish cemetery on today's Oberstrasse had become an obstacle in the eyes of the town council due to its dilapidated wall and its central location in the town. The purchase of the land, which was located far outside the village, was therefore subsidized by the city. A destruction of the cemetery in October 1930 is documented, the perpetrators remain unknown.

The synagogue in Meseritz was built after a fire in the Jewish quarter and is a successor building of the original synagogue. It was built in the late classicist style. Since the synagogue came through the Progromnacht unscathed, but was repurposed as a storage room, it was preserved, but the condition of the building fabric was so bad due to lack of preservation, the Jewish community had to give up the synagogue due to scarce financial resources. Therefore, a private investor converted it into a commercial building.
