The cemetery from 1717 on the Schwälkenberg in the north of Schwerin's old town, in the Werdervorstadt on the street 'Am Heidensee, has been cut through by Bornhövedstraße since the early 1950s. At that time, only a third of the southern part with its funeral hall was occupied.

Cemetery for forced laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp prisoners of the Reichswerke ‚Hermann Göring‘ who perished under inhumane working and living conditions.

The construction of a central ‚Ausländerfriedhof‘ began in the early summer of 1943. The Reichswerke „Hermann-Göring“ made the land with the old field name 'Jammertal' available for this purpose. The area was a small hill in the otherwise flat landscape, as the unusable earth accumulated during the construction work of the Reichswerke ‚Hermann Göring‘ had been dumped there.

Due to the increased number of members of the Jewish community in Braunschweig, which meant that the synagogue room in the community center used until then was no longer sufficient, it was decided to build a new synagogue in the inner courtyard of the community center in Steinstraße, directly adjacent to it and to the bunker. In January 2006, Jürgen Justus Becker conceived and realized the campaign „1938 Bausteine für die Synagoge“ on a voluntary basis, whereby the number  1938 is intended to commemorate the November pogroms of 1938 and their consequences.

The Jüdische Gemeinde Hildesheim e.V. was founded on January 25, 1997. It is a member of the Landesverband der Jüdischen Gemeinden von Niedersachsen K.d.ö.R.

On 10 November 2009, the liberal community was able to inaugurate its synagogue with a community center.

The Jewish cemetery with 52 graves on an area of 1245 square meters is located somewhat hidden in the Dühlholz to the east of the town. The cemetery in Sachsenhagen has existed at its present location since the middle of the 18th century. There is evidence of Jews in Sachsenhagen since the beginning of the 17th century. The Jews from the neighboring village of Bergkirchen (Schumburg-Lippe) also belonged to the community. In 1823, the Jewish community of Sachsenhagen consisted of 16 men, eleven women and 20 children. Sachsenhagen also had a synagogue.

Little is known about the history of the Jewish cemetery in Ermsleben. It was destroyed during the Nazi era and afterwards, demolished and built on elsewhere. It is surrounded by a wall on one side and a fence on the other. The grounds are laid to lawn. A memorial stone from the GDR era commemorates the Jews murdered during the Nazi era.

The cemetery is located at the junction of Meisdorfer Straße / Pechhüttenweg on the outskirts of the town, next to the former gasworks.
