A synagogue ("Judenschule") is mentioned already in 1789. The street where it was located is still called Judengasse today.

The rituals and the Torah scrolls were moved to Kusel. The building still stands and is used as a residence. In the neighboring building, the remains of a mikvah were found during renovation work in the 1960s.
