This cemetery was operative from 1854 to 1907 exclusively for the burial of unidentified seamen whose bodies washed ashore in Sylt.

In 1888 the Queen of Rumania, (born Elizabeth zu Wied at Schloss Monrepos at Neuwied am Rhein) vacationed in Westerland. The path she walked from her lodgings to the sea was named the Elisabethstrasse in her honor. The walkway took her past this cemetery, and she became its benefactor.
