Synagogue Bachgasse (Tauberbischofsheim)

The synagogue building was a three-story building that extended from Bachgasse to Gerbergasse. It also housed the Jewish school and the teacher/precentor's apartment until 1879, when they were moved to the Jewish community center at Hauptstraße 72. On September 1, 1879, the Jewish congregation sold the synagogue building, which was apparently in serious disrepair at the time, to congregation member Samuel Heimann for 4,000 marks, but retained in it the right to use the prayer hall and the women's bath. The prayer hall was 1922/23 once again thoroughly renovated, which completely consumed the then available funds of the existing synagogue building fund.

On the worship life in the synagogue there are several reports of Professor Ulrich Gerhardt, who was born in Würzburg and taught in Halle, and who repeatedly attended services in Tauberbischofsheim and the surrounding area between 1907 and 1930. Since Gerhardt had also attended services in Galicia and other regions, he noticed some peculiarities of the southern German rural congregations, which were explained to him by the cantor Oskar Dreifuß (d. 1926), who was active in Tauberbischofsheim from 1900 to 1926.

During the November pogrom of 1938 the interior of the synagogue was demolished. In 1945 the building was confiscated by the Allies and handed over to the Jewish Property Administration (JRSO). On April 5, 1950 the JRSO sold the building to private individuals. After reconstruction, it was converted for residential purposes and serves as a residential building to the present day.
