For the first time Jews are mentioned in the city in 1314 and 1330. It is not known whether the medieval Jewish cemetery is identical to the one that has survived. There is evidence that burials have taken place on the still preserved cemetery since 1579 . In the period that followed, the cemetery was also used by the Jewish communities, including Ellingen , Treuchtlingen , Berolzheim and Regensburg used until some of their own cemeteries were created there. The older tombstones still preserved date from the 17th and 18th centuries (mostly rectangular limestone slabs). The oldest legible grave inscription is from 1687. In the newer part of the cemetery there is still the Tahara building (washing house for the dead). The cemetery was desecrated during the Nazi era. A road was laid or significantly expanded across the cemetery property. The gravestones of the old part, which was almost completely cleared in November 1938, were partly used by the local population as building material. In 1940 three barracks and a playground were built on the site. Many graves were destroyed in the process. In 1950 the barracks were removed and the tombstones that could still be found were put up again. The current new part of the cemetery includes the graves since around 1825. The area of the cemetery covers 34.41 ares (old part) and 17.92 ares (new part).
