The cemetery was founded in 1752 by the purchase of a plot of land "An den weißen Bergen" by three Schutzjuden of Bleckede named in the purchase deed, Emanuel Hertz, Salomon Mosis and Benjamin David. In 1802, the cemetery was expanded to its present size by another land purchase. A death list exists for the period from 1789 to 1935.

Community life and school reform: The Bleckede synagogue community, which was founded in 1844 and to which Dahlenburg and later Hitzacker also belonged, was housed here and used the upper floor as a prayer room. This was also the birthplace of the reform pedagogue Dr. Kurt Löwenstein (1885-1939). A member of the Reichstag since 1920 and head of municipal education in Berlin, Löwenstein advocated school fees based on income, expansion of school lunches and workers' baccalaureate courses. In 1933 he emigrated to France, where he succumbed to a heart attack in May 1939.

Initially, the Jews living in Brotdorf attended the synagogue in Merzig. By the first half of the 19th century at the latest, a prayer room had been established in Brotdorf in one of the Jewish houses. When the number of Jewish inhabitants had increased relatively strongly around the middle of the 19th century, the community decided to build a synagogue. The previous prayer hall had become too small. In order to finance the synagogue, a house collection was to be held in other communities in the spring of 1854, but this was rejected.

Löw Manasse from Talheim near Heilbronn bought the two-story house in 1817. As an innkeeper and merchant, he applied for a name change to Löw Thalheimer in 1820. He operated the second Jewish inn next to the Rose in Hochberg. Unlike the Rose, however, Thalheimer's inn was not a sign inn, i.e., he did not offer overnight accommodations. The inn did not receive the name Krone until 1919. Löw Thalheimer advertised his inn under the name "Host Thalheimer" in the local newspaper. Around 1837, he registered a wine bar, and a bowling alley was also part of the offer.

Before it came to the founding of the company Netter & Eisig, Nathan Netter led the company "N. Netter", which was originally founded in 1870 by the Schmieheim-born merchants Nathan Netter and Joseph Hoffmann as a corset and shoe drill - weaving mill "Hoffmann & Netter" and then from 1873 by Nathan Netter alone until 1885 under his name company "N. Netter" continued. With the acquisition of J. Beck's property in 1885, the company "Netter & Eisig" was founded, which produced book binding fabrics and imitation leather for shoe linings.

In 1866, Samuel Heumann, a native of Laupheim, moved to Göppingen. He was a rag merchant from Laupheim and continued the trade with fabric remnants and fabric waste in Göppingen. After his death in 1911, his son Hugo Heumann took over the trade and founded the business "Hugo Heumann" - trade in weaving waste, later "En gros Geschäft in Baumwollwaren". The merchant Samuel Bühler was the husband of Hugo Heumann's sister Rosa, who married Samuel Bühler in Göppingen in 1891 and moved with her husband to Munich in January 1892.

Originally coming from Jebenhausen from the 1862 established company "Heumann, Hildebrand & Fleischer", which was dissolved again in 1869 by its three partners Kaufmann Heumann, Gottlieb Hildenbrand and Moritz Fleischer, founded the same year after moving to Göppingen Kaufmann Heumann together with his son Julius Heumann the company "Heumann & Son". In 1876 Leopold Heumann, the younger son of Kaufmann Heumann, joined the company as a partner. After the death of Kaufmann Heumann in 1877 and the death of Julius Heumann in 1899, Leopold Heumann remained as sole owner.
