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.
