It is the oldest cemetery in Württemberg-Hohenzollern and contains more than 1000 grave plots. It is situated far outside the town on a forested slope above the Eyach valley. The oldest intact tombstone is dated 1697. Up to the 18th century, the cemetery in Mühringen served a whole area. The dead of Nordstetten, Dettensee, Rexingen and Baisingen were buried there until these communities had cemeteries of their own.

The last grave is that of Julius Feigenheimer who died in October, 1940. One month after his death, his only son Heinz was murdered in Grafeneck. Heinz’ ashes were buried in his father’s grave. His mother, Emma Feigenheimer, was deported to Riga in 1941 and murdered.
