We have no knowledge about the beginning of the Jewish settlement in Lisberg and about the year the local Jewish cemetery was established, but it is known that Jews were brought there for burial from nearby Trabelsdorf in the middle of the 18th century. The community was officially eradicated in 1904 and the Jews of Lisberg were absorbed into the Trabelsdorf community.

In May 1940, the cemetery was desecrated by unknown persons; most of the gravestones were pulled out of their places and damaged.

On June 17, 1940, the last Jew in Lisberg, a 70-year-old woman, was transferred to an old age facility in Regensburg.

Today the cemetery is under the care of the Bavarian Council of Jewish Communities.
