The old Jewish cemetery was probably established in the middle of the 17th century on the Osterberg, near the current open-air stage. A very contemplative and almost romantic place.

The cemetery was used (according to Wikipedia) from 1754 nis 1902 and has - after extensions in the 19th century - an area of 602 m2.

Eight gravestones from the period between about 1820 and 1870, mossy mounds indicate another about 21 graves. The preserved grave signs are artistically as well as from the material quality above average.

Apparently the cemetery was vandalized some years ago: 3 of the 8 stelae show traces of professional repair.

Small stones on some gravestones testify that these graves are visited.

The range of goods included a large assortment of tin toys such as cars, motorcycles, airplanes, ships, tin figures of various kinds as well as tin trains.

About 220 gravestones are preserved in the cemetery, inscriptions from about 1630 to 1936, but the cemetery existed at least since the 15th century. After an expansion around 1900, a tahara hall with a low dome was built. The new part of the cemetery was surrounded with a high brick wall. Part of the enclosure and the hall were demolished around 1982.

The cemetery was damaged during the occupation, it fell into disrepair after the war and was rebuilt and maintained by an association after 2001.
