The six Jewish families admitted with a letter of protection from 1657 were able to establish a cemetery below the "Bürglischloss" (Genterweg) a few years after their admission. The cemetery soon became the central Jewish cemetery for the Jewish families living in the Hegau. Thus the deceased Jews from Randegg (until 1746), Wangen (until 1826) and Worblingen (until 1857/58) as well as partly from Donaueschingen and other places were buried there. The cemetery plot belonged to the local government.

Bad Ems is an idyllic spa town on the Lahn River. Especially the Kurhaus and the Kursaal building give an impression of the heyday of the spa business in the 19th century, when the international high society met here. The exclusive center was followed downstream by the village, which was characterized by agriculture and handicrafts. Jewish merchants, butchers, millers, doctors, bankers and hoteliers also lived in the spa and in the village of Ems. Around 1900, the Jewish community in Bad Ems was the largest in the Unterlahnkreis with almost 190 members.
