The cemetery was established in the middle of the 18th century. It was the central burial place for the Jewish communities in Alsfeld, Romrod, Leusel (here only individual families belonging to Angenrod), Ober-Gleen and Grebenau, until these communities partly established their own cemeteries. The entrance gate was rebuilt in 1897 due to a foundation. During the Nazi period the cemetery was reduced by more than half of its original area. Today the cemetery area still covers 14.39 ares. The oldest gravestone dates back to 1842.
