Until the middle of the 18th century, the dead of Jewish families were buried in the cemetery in Wehen, which belonged to the Wiesbaden rabbinate district. In 1750, the Wiesbaden and rural communities of Bierstadt, Erbenheim and Kloppenheim joined forces and acquired a plot of land on the "Kuhberg" (today Schöne Aussicht) to be used as a cemetery in the future. Rabbi Eli Isaak, son of Jakob, who died on February 11, 1750, was the first person to be buried here. The Jewish cemetery was extended in 1779 and 1850 and used until 1891, after which urns were occasionally buried in family graves until 1935. A total of 523 graves can be found in the cemetery. Due to complaints from neighboring villa owners and the division of the Jewish community, the decision was made in 1891 to establish two new Jewish cemeteries in Wiesbaden. At the same time, the old cemetery association with Biebrich, Bierstadt and Schierstein was dissolved, which also established their own burial grounds. Many of the older gravestones are extremely plain, often weathered and broken. The newer stones from the 19th century are better preserved, although some have fallen over. The site was renovated after the Second World War. Due to its significance for Wiesbaden's Jewish past, the cemetery was classified as a cultural monument.

In 1877, the orthodox "Old Israelite Cultusgemeinde", which was formed in 1876 through a secession, concluded a contract with the city for the construction of a burial site at the newly built northern cemetery. The purchase was made possible by donations from Jewish families from London, Minsk and Kiev as well as the Jewish Women's Association. The area on the lower eastern side of the northern cemetery covers 2,492 m2. By February 1965, 372 burials had taken place here. One of the most famous of those buried here is Wolf Vishniak, the grandfather of the famous photographer Roman Vishniak (1897-1990). North of the northern cemetery, the city ceded a wooded area to the "Israelitische Cultusgemeinde zu Wiesbaden" for the construction of a new Jewish cemetery in a contract dated March 23, 1889. The inauguration took place on January 14, 1891 by the city and district rabbi Michael Silberstein (21.11.1834 - 13.10.1910); the first burial took place one day later. Today, the "Friedhof an der Platter Straße" cemetery covers 6,585^m2. Architecturally, the main portal on Platter Straße, which is designed as a three-part gateway, and the mourning hall, which was built by architect Josef Heitscher in Moorish style, are worthy of note. The cemetery is still in use today.

The Jewish inhabitants of Biebrich and Mosbach initially also buried their dead in Wehen and, from 1750, in the cemetery at Schöne Aussicht. In 1889, at their request, the Jewish community was given an 847^m2 area at the northern end of the Biebrich-Mosbach municipal cemetery. A total of 86 burials took place here until 1939. The Jewish scholar Dr. Seligmann Baer also found his final resting place here. There are two Jewish cemeteries in Wiesbaden-Schierstein, which were established in 1891 and 1922 respectively. The last burials took place in 1942 and 1963. Only the Jewish cemetery in Bierstadt, which was established in 1890 and covers 599^m2, was desecrated by the National Socialists in 1938 after the Reichspogromnacht, so that no gravesites are recognizable today. The site was restored as a memorial in 1974.
