The Jewish cemetery of Elsdorf is located at the large sugar factory. The cemetery was acquired in 1847. The oldest stone dates from 1791, the site was already used as a cemetery before the acquisition. Today there are about 80 graves. Graves were moved here, which had to give way to the open pit coal mining. A stone commemorates Russian forced laborers who were killed by bombs. A surviving Jew had a memorial stone erected.

If the open-cast lignite mine in Hambacher Forst is expanded as planned, this cemetery will soon no longer exist.

In the address book of the city of Vienna from the year 1893 the following entry can be found: Rubinstein Gebrüder, Buch-u. Bilderhdl. u.

Gebrüder Rubinstein VII Neubaug.29The Hungarian-born brothers Josef and Salomon Rubinstein ran, among other things, a book publishing house that published Karl May's colportage novels from 1890 to 1895 in various linguistic translations (Czech, Polish, Slovenian, Spanish, Italian and Dutch).

In 1840, the Buchholz merchant Aron Sussmann acquired the site. The oldest gravestone (of Berta Sussman) is from 1846, the youngest from 1917.

Jewish people from the surrounding villages Neu-Lübbenau, Rietz-Neuendorf, Krausnick and Pretschen were also buried in Buchholz. The cemetery preserved today is with 7.2 ares apparently smaller than the original cemetery, which was partly destroyed during the Nazi period or afterwards. 28 gravestones are preserved.
