Until 1779, the Jewish community of Baisingen buried its dead in the Jewish cemetery in Mühringen. However, a separate cemetery had already been established in 1778, northwest of the village on Galgenweg. The local lord, Anton Schenk von Stauffenberg, had donated the area at the edge of the forest to the Jews as a cemetery. Today, the cemetery still contains 405 gravestones, known as matzevot. In 1948, a memorial stone for the Baisingen Jews murdered during the Nazi era was erected to the left of the entrance. It was donated by Harry Kahn, who had returned from exile.

The Jewish cemetery was laid out in 1778. The oldest gravestones are from 1782. Unfortunately, we could only look at the gravestones from the fence because the Jewish cemetery was closed.
