Hanover's Jewish community had grown considerably since the beginning of legal equality in 1842. Since the historical cemetery was no longer sufficient, it acquired a plot of land in the garden area far outside the city, today located in the middle of Hanover's Nordstadt. The new cemetery was solemnly consecrated in 1864. Its buildings on the street side - sermon hall, administration, mortuary and prayer hall - followed designs by the Jewish architect Edwin Oppler, who also built Hanover's New Synagogue at almost the same time.

The Old Jewish Cemetery in the Nordstadt, not far from the Christuskirche, offers an astonishing picture: a hill in the middle of the residential area, on it hundreds of old gravestones under tall trees, a walled island of the dead.

The Jewish cemetery "am Judenknapp" existed around 1800, only from 1824 death registers were kept.

He was probably founded around 1750. The last burial took place in 1939. At that time  Miriam Ruhstädt was buried on the Judenknapp, but was no longer allowed to have a gravestone.

The cemetery is located on Moosspringstrasse directly behind the entrance to the old paper mill at the edge of the forest. 

Today's district of Worms has a centuries-long independent tradition, at times as a Free Imperial City, which is still reflected in the townscape.

Jews certainly lived here before 1444, but in 1470 all Jews were expelled from the Electoral Palatinate, thus also from Pfeddersheim. Only with the end of the 30-year war in 1648 there is again concrete information about the presence and activity of Jews. However, a Jewish religious community was not founded until 1834. Until then, Jews oriented themselves either to Worms or to Grünstadt, where they attended the synagogues there.

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.
