Prayer room Unterlimpurg

At the beginning of the 18th century, a small Jewish community formed in Unterlimpurg under the protection of the Hall council. Initially, it held its services in the house of Moses Mayer.

Since 1727, regular services were held on the upper floor of the so-called Waller'schen Haus at Unterlimpurger Straße 65 e. In 1893, the Jewish congregation then moved to a prayer hall in Obere Herrngasse.

In 1738/39, Master Eliezer Sussmann ben Salomo Katz designed an elaborate wall covering for the old prayer hall in Unterlimpurger Straße - richly decorated with Hebrew inscriptions, animal figures and floral arabesques. Parts of this ornate wall covering can be admired today in the Hällisch-Fränkisches Museum zu Schwäbisch Hall.
