There are still 30 gravestones in the former Jewish cemetery in Fürstenau.

 There was already a Jewish cemetery in Fürstenau in early times. It is mentioned in a settlement as early as 1773, according to which it was used as a burial ground by the communities of Fürstenau, Stahle and Albaxen. The land name "Am Judenberg" in the document suggests that Jews had been buried here long before. While a separate Jewish cemetery was later established in Stahle, the Jews of Albaxen continued to bury their dead in Fürstenau.

The Jewish cemetery is located at the start of the hiking trail to Bödexen on an extreme slope on the left-hand side near the small Saumer river. There are still 30 gravestones on the narrow site, which covers almost 2,000 square metres.
