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.

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.
