Arnsberg is a town in the Hochsauerland district. and location of the Regierungsbezirk Arnsberg's administration and one of the three local administration offices of the Hochsauerlandkreis. By the end of the Duchy of Westphalia, no Jews were permitted in Arnsberg. This changed with the transition of Hesse-Darmstadt . Jewish families first settled in 1810. In the first decades of the young Jewish community they used Hüsten cemetery. Arnsberg was not part of the Hüstener kahal so conflict began. To avoid more conflicts, they created their own burial ground. Originally a plot was planned in Eichholz. However, in the following decades, the dead were still buried in Husten. Until 1847 it came to rest in the cemetery at the Old Kuhweg on Seltersberg, then far out of town.
