The first cemeteries were located in Meiderich and in the city center. Then the cemetery at Sternbuschweg was used, from 1923 the forest cemetery at Düsseldorfer Strasse. It was used for normal burials until 1940, then for urn burials of concentration camp victims. Since 1981 it has been used by the Jewish community of Duisburg.

The cemetery in Duisburg Beek at the Friedhofstrasse was first occupied in 1893. In 1939 the last normal burial was carried out. After that urns of people who were murdered in concentration camps were buried. Today there are still 49 gravestones.

The Hamborn, Marxloh and Bruckhausen Jews used the cemetery in Holten on Vennstrasse, later on the southern cemetery. However, this cemetery became increasingly unusable due to subsidence and flooding caused by mining.

From 1924, the cemetery on Mattlerstrasse was then used. The last burials were urn burials of concentration camp victims.

Today there are still 66 gravestones left.

The cemetery in Ruhrort on Rheinbrückenstrasse existed from 1732. Towards the end of the 19th century, the cemetery was occupied, the city planned a development on the site. As a result, the cemetery was abandoned and the remains were moved to the Mattlerstrasse cemetery. Today there is still the remains of a wall on the street.

After the inner-city cemeteries were closed, burials were held on Sterbuschweg in Field 22, and from 1919 also in Field 37. The memorial for the fallen of the 1st World War was later removed by the Nazis. After 1923 was no longer buried here

Until the end of the 19th century, the cemetery has also been used by Jews from Hamborn, Marxloh and Bruckhausen. The cemetery was closed in 1933 and destroyed in 1939. Restorations have taken place since the mid-1990s.
