The Jewish cemetery of Elsdorf is located at the large sugar factory. The cemetery was acquired in 1847. The oldest stone dates from 1791, the site was already used as a cemetery before the acquisition. Today there are about 80 graves. Graves were moved here, which had to give way to the open pit coal mining. A stone commemorates Russian forced laborers who were killed by bombs. A surviving Jew had a memorial stone erected.

If the open-cast lignite mine in Hambacher Forst is expanded as planned, this cemetery will soon no longer exist.
