A Jewish cemetery can be traced in Rathenow since 1699. This old cemetery had to make way for a city expansion in 1905 and was abandoned. Outside the city, near the former village of Neufriedrichsdorf, a new cemetery was established, which was destroyed in 1941, the perpetrators were children, members of the Jungvolk. After the war, the cemetery – or what was left of it – fell into oblivion, which was used as a Müllplatz. In the 1970s there was aufgeräumt, the 13 gravestones found thereby were set up in 1993 before the rear cemetery wall.

In 1865, a Jewish cemetery was established at the edge of the general cemetery, until then, the Jewish cemetery in the neighboring Tangermünde had been used.

The Jewish cemetery is located within the cemetery at the Uengelinger gate, in its northern area. From the gate opposite house 2 of the University of Magdeburg-Stendal at the Osterburger Straße one follows the path straight ahead until shortly before the opposite cemetery wall, then turns left and has in front of him the enclosure of the Jewish cemetery, a half-high open brick wall. It includes about 50 gravestones.

The 300 sqm large cemetery is hidden in the industrial area „Im Köhl“ at the junction of „Auf der Koppel“ with Wienbachstra&szlig. The cemetery „Auf der Koppel“ was bought in 1838  by Abraham Moises. The cemetery was destroyed during the Nazi period, all gravestones are missing. Eight Gräber show a stone border.
