The oldest news of a Jewish funeral (which presupposes a cemetery for Jews) dates from 1565. Since 1742 the Jewish cemetery has been on Melsterstrasse. It was occupied until 1941.

The first devastation of the cemetery is documented for 1874 and 1894, several gravestones were destroyed.

On October 5, 2004, unknown persons vandalized the cemetery; three tombstones were knocked over. These were put up again by employees of the city of Werl. State security from Dortmund started an investigation. A politically motivated background could not be demonstrated.

The Jewish cemetery was totally destroyed. Only after the end of the war were some tombstones put up again.
