The Jewish cemetery is located on Badstraße[1] in Berholz Forest.[2] It spreads over 61.48 ares.[2]
The cemetery was probably built in the mid-16th century.[1][2] Jews from Sulzburg and neighbouring locations were buried there until a collective Jewish cemetery was opened in Lörrach in 1670. During several decades, no grave was added and the cemetery fell into ruin.
In 1717, the cemetery recovered its initial role.[1][2] The small room was built at this time. The cemetery has 462 graves, the oldest datable one being from 1737.[1][2] Evidence of desecration can be seen in the modern part of the cemetery.[1]
In 1970, a monument was erected to commemorate the victims of the persecution of Jews in the Third Reich.[2]
