The old Jewish cemetery was used to bury the deceased of the Diez Jewish community from the end of the 17th century until 1895. From this year it was no longer used for burials, as it had reached its maximum capacity. It is no longer possible to determine how many graves were on it. Given the long period of its existence, there must have been a great many. In 1895, the Jewish community purchased the land for a new cemetery on the opposite Guckenberg.

The cantor's house housed in the 18th century simultaneously the residence for the rabbi, the synagogue and the narrow classroom ("old Juddeschul"). Here was taught exclusively religious education. The Torah was read in the original Hebrew, so this language had to be laboriously practiced. School was compulsory for boys between the ages of 5 and 12. A small synagogue was also established in an annex at that time. Due to reconstruction work, all traces have disappeared here.

The six Jewish families admitted with a letter of protection from 1657 were able to establish a cemetery below the "Bürglischloss" (Genterweg) a few years after their admission. The cemetery soon became the central Jewish cemetery for the Jewish families living in the Hegau. Thus the deceased Jews from Randegg (until 1746), Wangen (until 1826) and Worblingen (until 1857/58) as well as partly from Donaueschingen and other places were buried there. The cemetery plot belonged to the local government.

The first branch of the department store Feder was founded in 1900. In addition to the headquarters at Brunnenstraße 1, the department store chain had four other branches in Berlin in 1929: a ready-to-wear department store at Brunnenstraße 197/198, a department store for textiles, lingerie and furniture at Frankfurter Allee 350, one at Kottbusser Damm 103 and one at Wilmersdorfer Straße 165.

The store at Brunnenstraße 1 had already been sold by Berthold Feder to the Jewish businessman Alfred Altmann before the pogroms in November 1938.
