The cemetery has been in use since 1904, when the land resources of the Old Jewish Cemetery on the Miltenberg city wall were exhausted. One of the first burials in the New Jewish Cemetery was that of Emanuel Lindheimer; in 1899 he had sold the area required for the construction of this cemetery to the Jewish community .

The cemetery was used until December 1941.
