A cemetery was established in Lisberg already in 1739 (or earlier). There are a good 130 gravestones preserved there. The cemetery is enclosed by an almost man-high wall and a dense hedge growing in front of it, and therefore only visible through the locked lattice gate.

The cemetery can be found by leaving Lisdorf southwards in direction Frenshof and Steinsdorf. The first dirt road after the end of the village on the left leads between fields uphill to the cemetery, which is located on the tree-covered hilltop.

Erich Liebermann-Roßwiese was deported to the Riga ghetto on  January 21, 1942, and murdered there that same year.

Isaak Hess (1789-1866) opened an antiquarian bookshop in his hometown of Lauchheim in 1817, which he moved to Ellwangen in 1838. The antiquarian bookshop soon became one of the most important of its time and was continued after Hess' death by his sons Moritz and Sigmund. The building at Schmiedstraße 6 also served as a residence.

Hess also became an early board member of Lauchheim's Jewish community and played an important role in the emancipation of Württemberg's Jews in the 19th century.

Isaak Hess was born in Lauchheim on May 26, 1789. He attended a rabbinical school in Fürth and then worked for several years as a tutor and bookkeeper. In 1817 he founded his own antiquarian bookshop in Lauchheim. In 1838, he moved his antiquarian bookshop to Ellwangen and expanded it with an assortment bookstore. The emancipation efforts of the Württemberg Jews were of particular concern to him. He was a member of a government commission that prepared a law on the political and civil rights of Jews in Württemberg.

Aufseß is located in the middle of Franconian Switzerland on the Castle Road and the Franconian Beer Road. The river of the same name flows through the village. 
To the place belong today ten parts of the municipality.

American troops liberated about 42,000 displaced persons when they entered Hanover on April 10, 1945: civilian forced laborers, prisoners of war, concentration camp inmates. These displaced persons (DPs) had to be cared for, registered, and repatriated to their home countries. The Jewish DP community in Hanover, which at times had more than 1,200 members, was the largest in what is now Lower Saxony after Bergen-Belsen. One of its three large camps ("Camps") was located far outside the city center in the district of Vinnhorst on the Mittelland Canal.
