In 1880, the city architect of Mainz, Eduard Kreyßig, established a new Jewish cemetery on Untere Zahlbacher Straße next to the main cemetery of Mainz. This ended the use of the old cemetery Judensand on Mombacher Straße. A memorial plaque at the entrance has commemorated since 1948 with the inscription: "In memory of our victims. To the shame of the murderers. As a reminder to the living." The graves remained intact during the Nazi regime and wartime, and to this day, members of the Jewish community are buried here.
The cemetery is not publicly accessible.
