Jewish quarter (Gotha)
The Jewish families lived in the Middle Ages near the market in the Judengasse (today "Jüdenstraße"). In the 16th and 17th century in the area of the "Judengasse" is called a "Judenbad". The main occupation was money trading.
In 1418, 10 Jews (with families) are mentioned, a total of about 55 people. At that time there was also a rabbi in the town, who had a school (yeshiva), which was also attended by out-of-town students. In 1417 this rabbi was appointed "Judenmeister". Around 1465 the Jews were expelled from the town.
Synagogue (Gleicherwiesen)
Initially, there was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses.
In 1787 a synagogue could be built. It was the center of Jewish life in the village for a good 150 years.
During the November pogrom in 1938, the synagogue was attacked by an SS commando from Hildburghausen. The furniture was devastated, the objects of worship destroyed. In 1943, the demolished synagogue was demolished because of alleged "dilapidation."
