    The first Jews in Uehlfeld probably settled in the first half of the 16th century. During the Thirty Years War, most of Uehlfeld's residents fled to the surrounding cities. In 1696 a synagogue was set up in Uehlfeld. The deceased of the community were initially buried in the Jewish cemetery in Zeckern.
    In 1732, the community in Uehlfeld was offered a plot of land on a hill on which, with the permission of Margrave Georg Friedrich Karl, a cemetery was set up. The first tombstones, now partially sunken, were erected on the eastern part of the grave field. Newer tombs are to the right of the wrought iron entrance gate in the western part of the burial place. Since the 18th century, Uehlfeld has developed into the place with the highest Jewish population in the region.
    Today there are around 275 gravestones in the Jewish cemetery in Uehlfeld.
