Before the 19th century, no cemetery was available to the Jews in Aachen. They buried their dead in nearby Düren or Vaals.

In 1829, the first burial took place in the field in front of the Liège Gate. The mourning hall and the residential building for the cemetery administrator were built around 1890. The cemetery is well preserved. It was desecrated in 1991, garb stones were knocked over. On the area today stand about 800 gravestones, a field is divided off for new burials.

In the address book of Weinheim from the year 1900 the following entry can be found  -  Bär Philipp August, Rechtsagent, VI 117

Carl Lemberger ran a store for cloth made of sheep's wool at Hoher Markt. If he is identical to the Carl Lemberger listed here, he was born on August 23, 1828, and died on February 16, 1904, in Alsergrund, Vienna, where the store was located.

In 1928, the "New Cemetery" was inaugurated after years of planning and the construction of a large ceremonial hall with a huge concrete dome. It is located in the district of Eutrizsch. In 1938 the hall was set on fire, a year later it was blown up. In 1955, they built a new hall, but it was much smaller than the old structure.

The oldest cemetery, which no longer exists today, was founded in 1814 south of the present city center in Johannistal. He is today built over by clinics of the University of Leipzig. This cemetery existed until 1864 and was dissolved in 1936 by order of the municipality. The bones and some of the gravestones were moved to the cemetery on Delitzscher Straße.

Dr. Sally Rosenbaum was chief medical officer of Rothschild's Hospital and Rothschild's Children's Hospital.

Hüls, a district of Aachen, had and has no Jewish community. Since 2007, there is a cemetery next to the Christian cemetery, which serves the current burials.
