The age of the cemetery is unknown. Between 1910 and the end of the 1930s, 24 burials took place there. It was desecrated during the Nazi era and after 1945 the local community had to restore it. Salomo (Schleume) Spier was the last member of the Merzhausen Jewish community to be buried in 1947. He had returned from the Theresienstadt ghetto and died shortly afterwards as a result of the abuse he suffered there.
