Even before the November pogroms in 1938, the mayor of Coppenbrügge, Friedrich Beckmann, pushed for the removal of the Jewish cemetery. In 1935, he asked the district administrator of the Hameln-Pyrmont district to have the cemetery closed.

At the turn of the century, only one Jewish merchant family lived in Bisperode. There was therefore no sufficient reason to establish a Jewish cemetery. The Spiegelbergs were buried in the Christian cemetery on the outskirts. The small family burial site was once surrounded by a  cast-iron fence and was thus clearly separated from the Christian graves.
