The site of the cemetery above the village at the edge of the forest first belonged to Baron von Münch who was given money for every burial. In 1870, he sold it to the Jewish community. There are over 500 burial plots in the cemetery. During the Nazi regime many tombstones were destroyed, knocked down, broken, and the memorial slabs were ripped out.

An unusual feature is the presence of graves of Jewish patients from sanatoriums in Schömberg, Calmbach and Neuenbürg. From 1915 to 1934, at least eight people from Poland, Russia, Latvia. Austria and other places of origin were buried here.
