The oldest gravestones in the old cemetery date from the end of the 16th century. The Jewish deceased from the South Bohemian districts of Krummau and Kaplitz were buried here. At the end of the 19th century, the New Jewish Cemetery was laid out on Krummauer Strasse outside the city center.
In 1939, many adolescent tombstones were overturned. There are still around 30 tombstones in the old Jewish cemetery.
