H. Krakenberger from Fürth (Maistr. 11 1/2) was in Güntersthal an der Pegnitz around the First World War. Because of differences with some neighbors he sold the factory to C. Eckart and moved with his production temporarily into rented rooms in Lauf. He tried in vain to establish a bronze factory in Bamberg and finally set up a factory with water power in Altendorf (Opf.) in a former mirror glass grinding shop, which existed until the 1930s, but was very far away from Fürth.

The most famous cemetery in Prague is located in the old Jewish town, Josefov. It is nestled in the old town, surrounded by synagogues and old Jewish houses. It contains 12,000 gravestones dating from the 14th century to 1787, including those of Rabbi Löw, Mordechai Maisel and other famous people.

An endless stream of tourists winds üover the resting places of 200,000 people. They lie in several layers übereinander, angeschüttet, because no place was there.

No data have been preserved about the founding of the community.

The first written evidence of a permanent presence of Jews in Ermreuth dates from 1554, possibly after their expulsion from the imperial city of Nuremberg in 1498/99 some families had settled there. Only in the course of the 18th century did the community's population gradually grow, and in 1740 it established its first synagogue. A cemetery had already been established in 1711, which was expanded in 1797 and 1862. In 1834 followed its own school, which had to be closed due to the low number of students in 1916.
