The Jewish cemetery is located at the northern exit of Rheindahlen between Hardter and Broicher Strasse and is a reminder of the former Jewish community of Rheindahlen. The 381 square meter burial area can be reached through an entrance from Hardter Straße and at the intersection of Hardter Straße and Broicher Straße. A total of 21 tombstones have been preserved, which in terms of design and use of materials correspond to the traditional customs during the time of their creation. The oldest surviving tombstone relates to the year of death in 1871, the youngest dates from 1934. Due to a lack of sources, it cannot be ruled out that burials were carried out at this point before 1871 .
