Synagogue Neu-Anspach New Gate

The small Jewish community in Anspach acquired the small building with a gable roof in the 19th century to use it as a synagogue. The synagogue, which also included a schoolroom, was used by Jewish residents in Anspach, Rod am Berg and Schmitten.

In Anspach fifteen, in Rod am Berg nine Jewish inhabitants were counted in 1843. In 1905 these were still seven in Anspach and eleven in Rod am Berg. There was no own rabbi or teacher because of the small size. These were found in Wehrheim or Usingen.

After the murder of the Jews during the Nazi era, there was no longer a Jewish community in Anspach. The building with address Neue Pforte 4 was converted to residential purposes and is still used that way today.

Near the synagogue was the Jewish cemetery.
