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.

Max Nassauer, born on October 3, 1869 in Würzburg was a gynecologist and writer. He died on 23.5.1931 Bad Kissingen.

The Jewish cemetery of Herbern exists from about 1800 and was occupied until 1927. In the cemetery at the Watervorwinkel 16 gravestones are preserved.

The cemetery experienced many desecrations and destructions during the Nazi period. He was restored after the war.
