The Jewish cemetery in Villmar was laid out after 1920 and served as a burial place for the Jewish residents living in the village. These formed a Jewish community around the Villmar synagogue, established in 1844 . Before the cemetery was set up, the cemetery in Arfurt was the ritual burial place.
