The Jewish cemetery was laid out in the 18th century and used by the Jews in Richrath, Ganspohl , Immigrath, Hucklenbroich, Reusrath and Hitdorf. The burial place was occupied from the middle of the 18th century until 1986 and still exists. 51 tombstones have been preserved here, 22 of which date from the 19th century.
