The cemetery is located west of the federal road 17 from Landsberg to Augsburg between Kaufering and Hurlach. It was built over a mass grave with victims of Camp IV of the Landsberg/Kaufering subcamp complex. The camp had been run as a "sick camp" from December 1944. Other victims are the prisoners left behind during the evacuation in April 1945. The design was created in 1950 by the Nuremberg architect Ernst Rücker. The solemn inauguration took place on October 1, 1950.

The memorial for concentration camp victims from the concentration camp Hersbruck is located to the right of the road from Pommelsbrunn to Hubmersberg about 2 km before Pommelsbrunn in the forest. In the middle of a free, grassy place there is a stylized grave slab with the inscription: "Shall here eternally blazing raise the flame / the lament sees frozen to stone. Mute also speaks the stone. Erected in 1950". To the right of the memorial is a tall block with the inscription, "To the victims of the Hersbruck concentration camp who were cremated on this spot in 1944-45."

Presumably in the Middle Ages the deceased from Höchstädt were buried in Augsburg.

It is highly probable that the Jews living in the community of Hausen (today the district of Rhön-Grabfeld) had their own cemetery, which was probably abandoned towards the end of the 18th century. In the 19th century the Hausen Jews were buried in the cemetery in Neustädtles. In the original cadastre of 1850, the designation "Judenkirchhof" can still be found for the area next to the Reupershof.

In Hausen (Lkr. Miltenberg) there is a plot of land which bears the designation "Jewish cemetery". Here in earlier centuries a Jewish burial ground may have been located, of which, however, no written sources show. Also, nothing is preserved in the cemetery that reminds of a former burial place. The cemetery might have been located southeast of the village at the edge of the forest, reachable by the Eichelsbacher Weg, drive this way to the edge of the forest. On the plot "Judenfriedhof" is a rest area of the local history society.

A memorial plaque in the local cemetery refers to 28 victims of a death march from Flossenbürg concentration camp. The inscription reads: "Here rested 28 unknown victims of National Socialism from the Flossenbürg camp + April 1945. Hounded to death, recovered in peace". The dead, who had initially been buried on the spot, were exhumed on July 15, 1945 and buried in the local cemetery. In 1958, the remains were reburied in the Flossenbürg concentration camp cemetery.

The memorial is located on the right side of the road from Hersbruck to Förrenbach, about 1 km outside of Förrenbach.

The Jewish cemetery is located at the northern end of the village at the edge of the municipal cemetery in Planegger Straße. He was created in 1945. After 1955 there were only isolated burials. Deceased of the DP hospital in Gauting are buried here.

In Fürth there is the Old Jewish Cemetery, which exists since the 17th century. Almost 8000 gravestones are preserved here. Since 1906 there is the New Jewish Cemetery on Erlanger Straße.

On April 17, 1945, a train carrying about 4500 prisoners from Buchenwald concentration camp arrived at Nammering station on its way to Dachau concentration camp and remained there until April 23. During this time 794 prisoners died of starvation or by mass shootings. After the invasion of the American troops, 92 dead were buried in the cemetery in Fürstenstein in May 1945. In 1950, the Bavarian State Compensation Office erected a memorial stone made of Flossenbürger granite.
