The new Jewish burial site, which was occupied until 1957, was built around 1906/07 as the successor to the older Jewish cemetery on Doelen, which was laid out in the 18th century . The cemetery in the middle of the communal cemetery is open to the public; a notice board at its entrance provides information about the history of the Dinslaken Jewish community and the Jewish cemeteries. There are around 135 tombstones on the burial ground , another 60 tombstones placed here in a row are older and come from the former Jewish cemetery on Doelen.
