On the square of the synagogue (in the Alte Synagogenstraße) two elements point to the historical place. A plate is embedded in the pavement with the information: "On this plot of land stood the synagogue of the Jewish community of Nordhorn from 1814 until its destruction on November 10, 1938", accompanied by a reconstruction drawing of the synagogue (by Erich Begalke). A memorial stone placed on this site by the Nordhorn City Youth Council in 1968 was lost for several years after it was stolen, but was then reinstalled after it was found.

The new cemetery has 37 gravestones. Originally there were 62 graves here, but after the war not all the graves destroyed by Nazi vandalism could be fully restored. 

• Fünf Gräber bear only Hebräish inscriptions,
• 31 stones show German and Hebräish characters,
• one stone – the für the Yugoslav soldier Mose Atijar – has only a German inscription.

On all gravestones can be found above two letters: „Pe – nun“ - the abbreviation for „Here rests ...“. Then, with an honorific introduction, the name of the deceased is mentioned and the date of death.

The origins of the Augsburg textile factory M.S. Landauer lie in Hürben. There, in 1833, the weaver Moses Samuel Landauer set up his own business and by 1835 was already working on twelve hand looms in the cellar of his house in Hürben. In 1847, he set up his first mechanical business in a leased former oil and sawmill in Neuburg an der Kammel. At that time, the product range included cotton fabrics, bedding, calico, linen, meubling, sackcloth and much more. With increasing mechanization of production, hand weaving decreases.

Samuel Loewendahl and his wife Sofie Rosalie, née Rothschild were the owners of the "Modehaus für Damenenkonfektion Geschister Loewendahl". After their death in 1914, the women's fashion house and a house at Forsterstraße 13 passed into the ownership of their children. In the course of the so-called "Aryanization", the Loewendahl siblings lost all their property. The fate of the Loewendahl siblings is commemorated today by 3 stumbling blocks in Forsterstraße 13. The commercial building at Große Ulrichstraße 2 was demolished in 1997.

The origins of the tricot factory lie in 1853 and 1860, when Leopold Levy and Simon Loewengard founded a textile factory, which initially produced only aprons. Soon after, the textile factory became a tricot weaving factory with the manufacture of underwear. The tricot weaving mill also included a tailor's shop and a bobbin winding mill. Later Hermann Levy and Carl Loewengard took over the company. The company also sold abroad to England and Holland. With a large and modern machine park, the company had up to 400 employees from Hechingen and the surrounding villages.
