The previous cemetery ("old cemetery") in Deisterstraße was probably from 17./18. Century until 1910/1912 documented. This cemetery was desecrated in the mid-1930s. Gravestones were knocked over and smashed. Shortly before the end of the war , construction work began on the cemetery grounds, and the pits that were created can still be seen today. There is a tombstone in the cemetery; this was found again and erected as a memorial stone in 1982 .
