Synagogue Rathausgasse (Kleinwallstadt)

Initially there was a prayer hall or a first synagogue. A (new) synagogue was built in 1827. At the dedication of the Jewish school building in Kleinwallstadt in 1899, the desire was expressed for a "more appropriate prayer room and appropriate ritual bath", which should be carried out next to the school building. 
   
During the Nazi period, the synagogue was the target of attacks by Nazis on several occasions. On July 11, 1933, the large colored window of the synagogue was smashed. In 1934, according to a report by the District President of Lower Franconia, an arson attack on the synagogue was planned. Since a bottle filled with kerosene was found in the adjacent garden, to which a small bundle of scrawny brushwood was attached, the attack was prevented in time. In the following years, the synagogue was also broken into at night and ritual items were stolen. In 1936, SS people entered the synagogue during a service and prevented it from being completed.
   
After the number of Jewish congregation members declined sharply, the synagogue was sold to non-Jewish private individuals on March 29, 1938. As a result, the building escaped desecration during the November 1938 pogrom. The building was subsequently converted into a residential building and as such (rebuilt and renovated several times) is preserved to this day.
   
A memorial plaque was placed on the town hall of the municipality in the fall of 1986. It was stolen on December 24, 1986. A new commemorative plaque was subsequently installed.
