Sing

In Singen around 1666 Jewish families settled, but they soon emigrated from the place again. 

Only towards the end of the 19th century again some Jewish women*Jews moved in (1885 two, 1900 three Jewish inhabitants). After 1900 their number increased. The Jewish inhabitants of Singen initially belonged to the synagogue community of Constance. In the course of the 1920s, their number increased to such an extent that a foundation of a community was considered.

The highest number of Jewish inhabitants was reached around 1933 with 44 persons (according to other information, 14 Jewish families with a total of 60 persons lived in the city at that time). Due to the consequences of the economic boycott, increasing disenfranchisement and reprisals, by 1940 all of them had moved from Singen or were able to emigrate. However, at least 14 of them were later deported from their places of refuge and murdered. During the Nazi period, Singen was a transit station for many Jewish refugees to Switzerland. This is commemorated since 1993 at the train station by an information board of the "History Trail" Singen.
