A burial ground had already been acquired in 1730, the oldest legible grave inscription there is from 1783, the last burial took place in 1940. In the Nazi period, but also in recent times,the cemetery was devastated, after 1990 a fundamental restoration took place.

Coming from Bad Freienwalde (B167), one sees soon after entering the village on the right a gas station. A few meters after that you turn left into Kastanienweg, and at the first opportunity left again into Siedlungsweg, at the end of which is the cemetery.

The rabbi of the Destrikt Rabbinate of Würzburg, Nathan Bamberger, led the teacher training college since 1878.  

The until the middle of the 19th century still so-called "Judenplatz" along the (between Rosenwinkel and Grauem Hof) divided Bakenstraße marked the center of Jewish life in Halberstadt. Although the letters of protection for the settlement of Jewish families in the city were granted by the bishops until 1648, the "Jewish quarter" below Petershof was under the control of the Halberstadt citizens (magistrate). Christian families always lived here as well.

On the basis of a private foundation of the Halberstadt merchant Hirsch Köslin (died 1795), the general Jewish school "Hascharath Zwi" was founded in May 1796. From March 1797 it was housed in Judenstraße 27 - the first Halberstadt school building including a teacher's apartment.

After reorganization of the school, a first class of girls was also established in January 1827. Space became scarce, and so in October 1827 the school was able to move into a second schoolhouse at Judenstraße 18, diagonally opposite.

As in other communities, schooling for Jewish children in Halberstadt was still limited to traditional religious content (Talmud Torah) until the end of the 18th century. They were taught in private homes or in the Klaussynagoge in Rosenwinkel 18. On the basis of a private foundation of the respected Halberstadt merchant Hirsch (Zwi) Köslin (d. 1795), also called Hirsch Isaac Borchert, the general education Jewish school "Hascharath Zwi" was finally founded in May 1796.

The synagogue was built in 1895, after the land was purchased in 1894. The construction and the land cost a total of about 90,000 marks. "The community was therefore entirely dependent on its own help and it was decided to take out a loan of 50,000 marks against pledging the synagogue property" (Kohstall 1929, p.48). Thus, the indebted congregation was not able to hire a rabbi until 1904.

The Zeller family had to close their store at Breite Str. 18 due to boycott measures by the National Socialists and thus give up their large apartment at Askanierring 8. They moved to Havelstr. 20 in 1935. There, in their apartment on the first floor, they tried to continue their fabric business. There was a cinema called Odeum there at that time and today it is called Cineplex. In front of the Cineplex you can find today the stumbling stones of Heinrich and Fanny Zeller.

In the 1830s, the Sternberg family came to Spandau from Poznan (Poland). From 1841 they ran a department store, the business was managed by several generations. At the beginning of the 1860s it was still a small business with four employees. But by the 1920s it had developed into a larger company with 50-100 employees. In 1927, the Sternberg department store bought new business premises in Breite Straße and Fischerstraße. It was mainly active in textile trade, selling clothes, curtains, carpets and fabrics.
