Since 1775, there was a small Jewish community in Bleibuir, which had grown to 48 members by 1866 and even built its own prayer house the following year.

A small cemetery was created and maintained here for the burial of deceased community members. The land was provided by Jacob Horn from Kommern.

In 1820, the synagogue servant Abraham Schweitzer, who was born in Deutz, was the first to be buried. He was followed by Andreas Heumann and his wife Hendel Frohwein, Andreas Simon and his wife Fanny Löwenbaum, Leopold Frohwein and his wife Jetta Stock, and Cappel Frohwein and his wife Anna Wynhausen.

The closure of the "Gute Hoffnung" mining operation in 1892 deprived the Jewish citizens, who mostly worked as traders, of their livelihood. By the turn of the century, everyone had moved to the surrounding area.

Today, four gravestones remain, facing east in accordance with the Jewish rite.

The city of Mechernich is responsible for the maintenance of the cemetery. Source: Information board on site.
