The Jewish Cemetery is located in the Rheindahlen district of Mönchengladbach (North Rhine-Westphalia) on Hardter Straße and is located directly opposite the former municipal cemetery, which is now a park. It replaced an older Jewish burial ground "am Jüddeberg", which was leveled in 1954. 

The former burial ground on Hardter Straße has a size of 381 m². Due to repeated desecrations during the Nazi era and the theft of several gravestones, the original state of occupancy can no longer be traced today. 

The Jewish cemetery "am Düvel" is located in today's district of Giesenkirchen-Schelsen. It is located directly in the triangle where the Konstantinstraße meets the Mülforter Straße and continues in the Liedberger Straße. 

The cemetery was occupied in the period from 1876 to 1902. It is amazing that the small Jewish community in Giesenkirchen-Schelsen had its own, albeit with  474 m² quite small, burial ground. A total of nine gravestones have been preserved. During the National Socialist rule, no further gravestones seem to have been removed. 

In 1840 the cemetery was established at the lower Kamphausener Straße. The 881 m² large area can hardly be seen from the outside today. The cemetery replaced an older Jewish cemetery in Odenkirchen. This is said to have been located nearby at the Hohlweg on the side of the Kölner Straße. The burial area of the cemetery is divided into two parts. The older part is not on the right side of the entrance. Here people were buried until the end of the 1880s. The younger part of the cemetery was used for burials from 1890 until about 1950. After that the cemetery was declared closed.

The site of the present Jewish cemetery on Eifelstraße was acquired in 1832 by Heinrich Stern. This was not in his capacity as head of the Jewish community, but for private purposes.

Slowly, the Stern family made parts of the property available to the community as burial grounds. These parts of the land were transferred to the community as property. 

Before that, until 1836, a small burial ground had been used in the same part of the village, which was called the "Judenkirchhof aufm Heydberg" in 1782. It was located at the end of today's Watelerstraße. 

The Jewish Cemetery is located on Hügelstraße in the Westend district of Mönchengladbach (North Rhine-Westphalia) and is the largest preserved cemetery in the urban area of today's Mönchengladbach. 

In 1841, the Jewish community acquired the land with an abandoned gravel and sand pit from the merchant Busch. The land acquisition replaced an older cemetery, which must have been located nearby, but can no longer be located. The oldest surviving gravestone is dated 1875 (first burial 1841).
