A cemetery was established in Lisberg already in 1739 (or earlier). There are a good 130 gravestones preserved there. The cemetery is enclosed by an almost man-high wall and a dense hedge growing in front of it, and therefore only visible through the locked lattice gate.

.

The cemetery can be found by leaving Lisdorf southwards in direction Frenshof and Steinsdorf. The first dirt road after the end of the village on the left leads between fields uphill to the cemetery, which is located on the tree-covered hilltop.

The department store (textile, haberdashery, toys) "J.M. Feibes" was founded already in 1849. Fritz Feibes was the last owner business, which was closed at the end of 1938 against the will of the owner. On 17.9.1938 the company assets were seized by "security order". From January 1, 1939, the continuation of the business was prohibited. The store was the victim of devastation during the Reich Pogrom Night. Anti-Jewish writings on the shop windows, looted window displays and destroyed interior furnishings, some of which were set on fire, remained.
