The new Jewish cemetery in Mysłowice was officially opened in September 1866. It has a plot of about 0.4 ha. The cemetery was surrounded by a stone wall, and a pre-burial house was erected on the eastern side.

The oldest preserved tombstone dates from 1866.

It is assumed that about 800 people were buried in the cemetery, and the last burial took place in March 1954.

On September 26, 1905, a new pre-burial house was opened, designed by Georg Schalscha from Katowice. The new facility was slightly larger than the previous one and was also connected to the sewage system.

During World War II, the entire property of the Jewish community in Mysłowice, including the cemetery, was seized by the Trust Office in Katowice. The mortuary building was rented to a local builder. Until 1945, the cemetery survived practically intact.

From 1948, the cemetery was taken over by the State Treasury. In 1962, the cemetery was closed for burial purposes.

After 1945, the condition of the cemetery began to deteriorate. In the 1960s, the pre-burial house was demolished, leaving the foundations behind. A new entrance gate was built in its place. At the beginning of the 21st century, overgrowing and littering the cemetery became so great that it was impossible to enter its area. On the initiative of members of the Mysłowice Historical Society of Jacob Lustig, the cemetery has been cleaned up.

To this day, about 400 matzevot and their fragments have survived, as well as the foundations of the pre-burial house, the remains of the fence and old trees, and the historical arrangement of communication and quarters is also legible.
