" The Jewish community in Wöllmarshausen existed from the middle of the 18th century until 1877. (...). Around 1848 there were 35 Jews living in Wöllmarshausen. (...) Due to the law of 1842 the Landdrostei decreed on June 17, 1844 the formation of a joint synagogue association with Bremke and Gelliehausen. This failed due to the "disruptive obstinacy" of the Wöllmarshauser Jews. In May 1845 the Landdrostei provisionally accepted the independence of the community of Wöllmarshausen. (...)
The synagogue was a rented room, also called a "school". For 1852 to 1861 and 1864/65 10 Tlr. annual rent is proven. Also in 1877, the synagogue was referred to as rented during the community dissolution, there was no community property.
Rent payments are also to be documented for the mikvah. In 1854, 2 Tlr. were spent for it." (Uta Richter-Uhlig 2010, p. 1584)
