Dr. phil. Max Martin Sigmund Heinemann was born in Berlin as the son of the teacher Adolf Heinemann and his wife Martha, née Bamberger. Orphaned at an early age, he was financially supported by relatives on his mother's side, owners of the Tannenbaum, Pariser & Co. Luckenwalde cloth factory, to attend school and university. He had been married since April 1917 to Mathilde Hermeter (2.7.1878 Rosenheim - 4.12.1943 Leipzig). She and her daughter Anna Veronika (1896-1942) converted to the Jewish faith in February 1917. Anna Veronika married Dr. phil. Max Hofmann (1886-1966) on Nov.

With the consolidation of the neo-orthodox Jewish community in Halberstadt, it undertook various conversion and new building projects after 1850: After the Klaussynagoge (1857/58), the Gemeindesynagoge (1879), the Gemeindemikwe (1891/92), the third cemetery (1895/96) and the school (1899), on December 22, 1912, the Jewish retirement home „Newe Menucha“ (Hebrew for the elderly) was opened. December 1912 in the Wilhelmstraße 15 - on the initiative of the families Baer and Meyer - also the Jewish old people's home „Newe Menucha“ (Hebrew „source of rest“) was inaugurated.

The Jewish cemetery „auf der Löh“ is part of the municipal cemetery of the city of Viersen. It is a 1576 square meter area, separated by Büsche and Bäume, located in the northwestern part of the municipal cemetery. In 1907, this part was transferred to the Jewish community, but the burial ground remained in municipal ownership. In exchange for the land, the Jewish community gave the city free of charge that part of the burial ground on Florastra&szlig, on which no burials had taken place.
