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.

This wooden memorial cross near the forest chapel is adorned with the saying "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

This chapel of thanksgiving, dedicated to the Mother of God, was built in 1946 from stones from the former Eutingen military airfield. The forest chapel is a popular destination, not only for the Christians of Baisingen.

The term "deadwood" refers to standing and fallen trees, or parts thereof, that have died. It is the final developmental stage in a tree's life and one of the most important structural elements of our forests. There is even funding available for deadwood. €50-175 per tree/tree part as a one-time payment, with a maximum of five deadwood pieces per hectare. (As of January 31, 2025)
