The cemetery was laid out in 1830. Before that, the dead had been buried in Mühringen. The burial site, slightly outside and to the east of the village, was planned to hold 400 burial plots. An unusual feature was the separation of the dead according to gender. Of the 218 original tombstones only 157 remain, some only as fragments. During the Nazi regime, the cemetery was defiled, the tombstones knocked down and broken, and the enclosing wall badly damaged. The last burial took place in 1934.
