The upper middle-class villa directly on the Eilenriede city park was built in 1903-1906 for Siegmund Seligmann (1853-1925), the Jewish director of Continental AG, and his family. Since joining the company in 1876, Seligmann had turned the "Continental Caoutchouc- und Gutta-Percha-Compagnie" into a global enterprise in just a few decades. In 1921 he was honored with an honorary doctorate from the Technical University, and in 1923 he was made an honorary citizen of the city of Hanover.

The Anne Frank Zentrum, which opened in Berlin on June 12, 1998, is the German partner organization of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. The center commemorates Anne Frank's life and her diary with exhibitions and educational programs. In this way, visitors are given access to the history of the Holocaust and encouraged to confront anti-Semitism in the past and present.

The cemetery was the only plot in an otherwise unparceled area used as Huteland. The Roth municipality is entered as the owner in the associated cadastre, i.e. the site was merely made available for use by the Jewish community. No gravestones have survived from this earliest period. In the 19th century Roth, Fronhausen and Lohra formed a synagogue and cemetery community. In 1873, however, the Jews of Fronhausen established their own cemetery on the "Kratzeberg" in Fronhausen.  At the same time, the Rother community expanded the cemetery by more than double to 1646 square meters.

In the obituary on the death of Sigmund Neumetzger in the Gemeindezeitung für die Israelitischen Gemeinden Württembergs of December 16, 1932  the following information can be found.

The cemetery is located northeast of the city center, near the B 257 (Dauner/Wittlicher Straße), in the southeast corner of the cemetery on Erdofer Straße, direct access to the Jewish burial ground from Talweg.

On the cemetery, which was used only from the late 19th to the early 20th century, today there are only 5 gravestones (all in the form of obelisks), three with German inscription, dated 1900, 1904 and 1906, one with Hebrew and one without inscription. In memory of the victims of the Holocaust from Bitburg, a memorial plaque with 30 names was erected.
