Here existed from about 1350 until the expulsion in 1517/1518 a Jewish community, which buried their deceased first in Nördlingen. When Nördlingen expelled its Jews in 1506, it was possible to establish a cemetery in Donauwörth. Nothing is known about its location. A location outside the city east of the city wall is assumed. However, it was destroyed after the expulsion in 1517/1518.

Here existed from the early Middle Ages until 1634/35 a Jewish community, which grew strongly in the 16th century and therefore found mention. It had a synagogue and a cemetery where Jews from the entire area were buried. Field names such as "Judenmahd" and "Judenweg" testify to the presence of Jews in the former county of Burgau. The name "Am Judenbegräbnis" (At the Jewish Burial Ground), which is still valid today in the Burgau district, clearly points to the cemetery. The community died out after the plague years of 1634/35 during the Thirty Years War.
