During the period of National Socialism about 20 stones were destroyed. During desecrations in 1966 and 1995, other gravestones were destroyed; these have been partially replaced.

The older, predecessor cemetery, which was probably occupied from the 18th century to 1877, was located in the forest opposite the Reichsburg in the "Knippwiese" district.
