The Jewish cemetery was established in the 19th century.

It is located in the municipal cemetery Gartenstraße, behind the funeral hall.

There are 9 gravestones from the years between 1919 and 1937.

The cemetery is reasonably well kept as part of the general cemetery maintenance.

The älteste cemetery Viersens was established in 1768 and was located on the Venloer Strasse. The cemetery was abolished and is today a green area. After the äolder Jewish cemetery on Venloerstra;e had been closed in 1873, a new Jewish cemetery had been established in the same year on the Kampweg. Burials were held here until 1916. The burial ground, surrounded by a fence and hedges, is not freely accessible today. Preserved are a total of 25 gravestones, these are partly very badly destroyed.

In the address book of the city of Munich from the year 1915, the following entry is found under the same address: Israel, Bruno, Ing. (Fa. Israel & Cie )  Agnesstraße 55/3.

Lawyer Albert Nussbaum was also active in local politics. He was active for the SPD from 1911 - 1928 as a city councilor and from 1919 - 1928 as a district councilor. On November 9, 1923, he was among the hostages of the Hitler putschists.

A few steps lead to the ritual immersion bath (mikvah) in the basement of the right tower of the synagogue in Oranienburgerstraße. The modern and centrally located mikvah has an anteroom that is used as a waiting room. This is where people prepare for the ritual bath. The  "living" water is supplied to the bath via a tank from the roof that collects rainwater.

The cemetery is located west of the town center, within the municipal cemetery Sarresdorfer Straße (= B 410), not far from the church of the Redeemer
