There is said to have been a Jewish cemetery in Lobositz as early as the 17th century. A new cemetery was created around 1715 and was used until the end of the 19th century. The Jewish cemetery still preserved today is directly adjacent to the communal cemetery. Today only three tombstones ( Mazewvot ) remain.
