The Judenberg is mentioned for the first time already in 1366 in the citizen book. According to Walter Groos, Beiträge zur Frühgeschichte Augsburgs 300-1300, there is evidence of housing for Jews after 1440. These are indications that Jews were already settling on Judenberg in the early Middle Ages.

Simon Oberdorfer ran a bicycle shop and repair shop at Arnulfsplatz 4 and the local - establishment " Velodrom ". Already in 1898, the Velodrom was visited by well over 1200 people in one event. There was temporarily a 32-man " People's Symphony Orchestra ", but also magicians, jugglers, artists and singers were guests.

In the address book of the city of Nördlingen from the year 1906, the following entry can be found - Lauchheimer Sigmund, leather merchant, Untere Herrengasse B 249 - Lauchheimer Jakob, privateer, Untere Herrengasse B 249.

Historical group photo of a deputation (delegation) of the  "Nördlinger Privilegierte Schützengesellschaft of 1399", probably from a Bundesschießen or Ähnlichem. There must have been a big parade for it (the Bundesschießen took place every three years). In the middle under the flag is Abraham Weiler, who was from 1899  1st Schützenmeister, so chairman of the Schützengesellschaft.

The Benedikt-Elsas-Weg in Remseck-Aldingen is named after the textile entrepreneur Benedikt Elsas (1816-1876), who came from Aldingen, was the first Jew to be able to train as a weaver there and started his own weaving mill in 1844 at Schlößlesstraße 2 (Aldingen Old Schoolhouse).

In 1828, Benedikt Elsas (1816-1876), a Jew from Aldingen, was the first Jew to be able to serve an apprenticeship at the small Heinrich Erhardt cotton weaving mill in Aldingen. In 1838, he earned his master's certificate as a weaver and was now able to weave cotton and linen on his own account. In 1844, he acquired the old Aldingen schoolhouse and, together with his two brothers, operated the rapidly expanding weaving mill "Elsas & Comp." there with six looms in the basement of the house.
