Bauerbach (Grave Field)
In Bauerbach existed a Jewish community until 1938/41. Their emergence goes back to the time of the 17th/18th century . However, the oldest reference to Jews in the place is only a grave inscription of the Bauerbach cemetery from 1722.
In 1782 the Jew Mattich in Bauerbach, whom the poet Friedrich Schiller liked to meet during his stay in Bauerbach, and Jonas Oberländer, whom Schiller rescued from a life-threatening situation, are mentioned by name.

Online Archive of Synagogues
From 1999 to 2001, curious about the internet’s new opportunities for memorial culture, Marc Grellert (TU Darmstadt, Digital Design Unit) developed the Online Archive of Synagogues. The database (www.synagogen.info, currently offline) contains basic information on over 2200 synagogues in Germany and Austria that had been in use in 1933. Interested users were able to add comments, images, links, and (survivor) testimonies to the entries. These contributions by individuals were then incorporated directly into the database.
