The Jewish cemetery has existed since the 16th and 17th centuries. Century. In 1928 many tombstones were knocked over and the entrance gate was damaged.
A man from Muggendorf, appointed by the military government as a trustee after WWII, sold tombstones as building material. Only part of it could be brought back.
