Jewish quarter (Ilmenau)

In the 16th century Jewish inhabitants are mentioned several times between 1508 and 1565 (in 1508 Jud Jarow is mentioned by name). In 1555, the letters of protection of the Jews living in the county of Henneberg were no longer renewed, which led to their expulsion until 1566. 
Presumably the Jewish settlement of the 16th century was remembered for a long time by the "Judentor", from which the still in the 19th century so-called "Jüdengasse" (since 1860 "Bergstraße", later "Weimarer Straße") led to the market.
