Textile, haberdashery wholesale - J.M.Feibes
The department store (textile, haberdashery, toys) "J.M. Feibes" was founded already in 1849. Fritz Feibes was the last owner business, which was closed at the end of 1938 against the will of the owner. On 17.9.1938 the company assets were seized by "security order". From January 1, 1939, the continuation of the business was prohibited. The store was the victim of devastation during the Reich Pogrom Night. Anti-Jewish writings on the shop windows, looted window displays and destroyed interior furnishings, some of which were set on fire, remained.

City walk Sondershausen
Jews have lived in Sondershausen since the late 13th century. This is evidenced by the mikvah, a Jewish bath for ritual purification, discovered in 1999 during archaeological work in the inner city area. In 1349 the Jewish inhabitants fell victim to the plague pogrom. Only sporadically Jews are to be proven in the city in the following centuries.
