The cemetery is located in the street angle "Bergstra;e" / "Egge" west of the town center of Werther on the eastern slope of the Werther Egge. The approximately 1300 square meters of land had been acquired by the brothers Aron Bendix and Jordan Bendix Weinberg as early as 1889. The former Jewish community of Werther buried their deceased community members in the cemetery from 1895 to 1942. Before that they buried their dead on the old cemetery in Bielefeld and on the cemetery in Halle.

The cemetery, established in 1826 at the latest, is located about 1.5 km north outside the old town center of Enger on today's Ziegelstrasse. Until 1828, the Jews of Bünde were also buried here. Contrary to widespread Jewish custom, the graves do not face east (toward Jerusalem) but north toward the entrance.

The cemetery at the Lermecke was occupied from 1721 to 1880. Gravestones are no longer present after bomb hits. A memorial stone commemorates the deceased.

The cemetery, dated 1873, is located at the end of the village next to a  federal road. There are still 25 gravestones. The cemetery was intended for the residents of Bigge. However, Jews from the surrounding villages were also buried.
