In Abensberg existed since 1398 a Jewish community with its own synagogue and a cemetery, which is documented for the first time in 1440 as "Judenpühel" ("Judenbühel"). One year later, in 1450, the town expelled the Jews from Abensberg. The cemetery was located outside the town on the road to Offenstetten. The area still bears the name "Judenbuckel" today. Remains are no longer present due to overbuilding, the gravestones were either destroyed or found use as building material.

As early as December 1944, Georg Lukács went to Budapest, where he received a professorship in aesthetics and cultural philosophy at the University of Budapest.

Among them was the world-renowned philosopher Ágnes Heller.
