Hanover's Jewish community had grown considerably since the beginning of legal equality in 1842. Since the historical cemetery was no longer sufficient, it acquired a plot of land in the garden area far outside the city, today located in the middle of Hanover's Nordstadt. The new cemetery was solemnly consecrated in 1864. Its buildings on the street side - sermon hall, administration, mortuary and prayer hall - followed designs by the Jewish architect Edwin Oppler, who also built Hanover's New Synagogue at almost the same time.

The Old Jewish Cemetery in the Nordstadt, not far from the Christuskirche, offers an astonishing picture: a hill in the middle of the residential area, on it hundreds of old gravestones under tall trees, a walled island of the dead.

In 1928, the "New Cemetery" was inaugurated after years of planning and the construction of a large ceremonial hall with a huge concrete dome. It is located in the district of Eutrizsch. In 1938 the hall was set on fire, a year later it was blown up. In 1955, they built a new hall, but it was much smaller than the old structure.

The oldest cemetery, which no longer exists today, was founded in 1814 south of the present city center in Johannistal. He is today built over by clinics of the University of Leipzig. This cemetery existed until 1864 and was dissolved in 1936 by order of the municipality. The bones and some of the gravestones were moved to the cemetery on Delitzscher Straße.

On the history of the small Jewish community of Jáchymov - with the historical designation 'synagogue community Alt-Grimnitz' - very little information is available.
