The Philippstein Jewish Cemetery was laid out around 1850 and the last burial of Ferdinand Rosenthal (whose great-grandparents were also buried in Philippstein) took place in 1927. Only Jewish families living in Philippstein were allowed to be buried in the cemetery.

The area of the cemetery consists of a small triangular plot. It is closed by a cast-iron gate with a medallion frieze and is now surrounded by hedges and trees. The tombstones that have been preserved are mostly designed as steles with arched ends.

The cemetery area covers 2.77 ares and is entered in the register of monuments of the State Office for Monument Preservation Hessen as a cultural monument for historical reasons.
