The Bamberg Jewish comminity used the cemetery in Zeckendorf for burials during the 16th century and that in Walsdorf during the 18th/19th century.
The present cemetery was dedicated in 1851 and a mortuary was erected in 1890.
During WW2 the mortuary was leased by the city authority to a commercial organisation for metal storage. Post 1945 the mortuary was returned to the Bamberg Jewish community and renovated between 1993 and 1997. It is now under a preservation order. A permanent exhibition by the city's town archives is in the mortuary building on the theme Juden in Bamberg depicting varied aspects Jewish life in Bamberg prior to 1938.
The cemetery contains a memorial stone dedicated by the Jewish community of Bamberg to the victims of the Nazi era 1933-1945. In addition, there are also several gravestones dedicated to the memory of individual Jewish soldiers from the Bamberg community who fell during WW1.
The cemetery is kept in excellent condition.
