Fanny Kahn was born on April 7, 1871 in Rockershausen/Saar. She was married to Ludwig Kahn (marriage 1908), a cattle dealer from Aufhausen near Bopfingen. In Aalen, the couple built a cottage with a small outbuilding. Ludwig Kahn was a soldier in World War 1, came home injured, but then died of a war wound on July 18, 1919. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Aufhausen. The marriage of Ludwig and Fanny Kahn remained childless. After the early death of her husband, Fanny Kahn made her living by teaching piano and trading in basketry.

The Rosenthal Villa was built in 1891. It was the home and center of life for the couple Eduard and Clara Rosenthal and their son Curt. Numerous testimonies attest to the cultural importance of Villa Rosenthal as a meeting place of science, art and politics. The couple promoted social exchange and supported educational programs for workers and employees. After Clara Rosenthal's death in 1941, the building was bequeathed to the city of Jena in her will and has served as a residence ever since. In 2004, the villa was taken over by jenawohnen GmbH and extensively renovated.

The Jewish cemetery is located  at the Zengelsberg.

It was occupied from 1834 to 1937. There are still 37 gravestones there today. During the Second World War prisoners of war were also buried there. They were later reburied.

"In the Jewish cemetery, on the 50th anniversary of the "Reichskristallnacht", a memorial was dedicated to the expelled and murdered members of the former Jewish community."

Editor's note:

This is a quotation instead of the term "Reichskristallnacht" the term Novemberprogrome is used today.

In the address book of the city of Nuremberg from the year 1888, the following entry can be found in section II - house directory with the independent residents : Innere Laufer Gasse 35, Sondhelm, Moses., hop and wine merchant.

" The Jewish community in Wöllmarshausen existed from the middle of the 18th century until 1877. (...). Around 1848 there were 35 Jews living in Wöllmarshausen. (...) Due to the law of 1842 the Landdrostei decreed on June 17, 1844 the formation of a joint synagogue association with Bremke and Gelliehausen. This failed due to the "disruptive obstinacy" of the Wöllmarshauser Jews. In May 1845 the Landdrostei provisionally accepted the independence of the community of Wöllmarshausen. (...) 

"The date of construction of the cemetery is not known. As early as 1854, the political community approved its expansion, but forbade the enclosure, in order to continue to allow the grazing of cattle. In 1860/61, the cemetery grounds were again enlarged and enclosed, after between 1840 and 1860, ten adults and two children had been buried on the previous grounds. The Jewish cemetery exists to this day.
