The 392 m² large plot was purchased in 1845 by Cusel Bernstein and Feist Nathan Neufeld. The still existing 15 gravestones document an occupation period from 1844 to 1935. It is unlikely that the gravestones correspond to the real graves. At the left edge there is a grave field of Russian foreign workers who found their last rest there between 1941 and 1945.

On 15.12.1845 the Jewish community acquired a 192 square meter property from the farmer Anton Grasmann. The royal government in Arnsberg granted the permission for use on 20.03.1846.
