"The small Jewish community in the village of Seibersbach probably arose in the second half of the 18th century. Towards the end of the 19th century the Jewish community reached its numerical peak with about 70 people. There had been a synagogue in the village since the 1850s; before that, the Jews of Seibersbach had attended the Jewish house of worship in nearby Schweppenhausen. After a fire in 1913, which completely destroyed the synagogue, a new building was erected on the old foundations.
