After the pogrom, the mayor had the Jewish residents pay RM 800 for the repair of the synagogue windows. He also offered to sell them the synagogue for RM 50. Master saddler Karl Geiling, in whose yard the synagogue stood, tried to buy the building, but this proved to be very difficult. The small Jewish community did not object to the sale to him in July 1942. The last two Jewish men - Sigmund Max Eberhardt and David Frank - "confirmed" their consent to the sale of the building to Karl Geiling in a document dated 1942
.
When the house of Samuel Eberhardt, head of the Jewish community of Maßbach, was sold in 1921, Karl Geiling, master saddler, was given the assurance that as soon as the synagogue passed into other ownership, only Karl Geiling, master saddler of Maßbach, would be considered. Since Geiling has always been friendly to the Jewish community in every way and the Jews of Maßbach have partly emigrated, died and moved away, so that only 2 members of the Jewish community are still present, namely shop steward David Frank and Sigmund Eberhardt, they support with their signature and community stamp that only this property should be transferred to Karl Geiling master saddler in Maßbach when it is sold. Maßbach, July 2, 1942.

As a former member of the Jewish community of Maßbach, my birthplace and former hometown, I would like to confirm that Mr. Karl Geiling from there was always very decent and well-disposed towards us Jews and I would therefore only like to advocate that the sale of our former synagogue be approved for him.
Yours sincerely, Sigmund Eberhardt."
