Grain mill of the Berney family. Wolf Berney bought the building towards the end of the 19th century and ran a flour mill that was doing well, producing kosher flour for the matzo bakery and supplying the Jewish families in the village. Non-Jewish businesses and households were also supplied with various types of flour by the Berneys.

The former Berney mill is currently vacant; it is in need of major renovation and is to be sold.

The castle in Laudenbach belonged to the estate of the Voite von Rieneck. The noble lords exercise the right to protect Jews and allow Jews to live in the small former servants' quarters of the castle. The living conditions are very bad.The cottages are small and overcrowded.

In this courtyard, writes a Würzburg newspaper in 1798, "every corner is filled with Jews." The owners of the castle let the Jews settle there mainly because of the considerable protection money. In the vernacular, the area is called "Judenhof".

The Würzburg Julusspital buys in 1694 a site in the village center of Laudenbach, in order to let live in the existing houses there exclusively Jews. There are five houses on the site of the formerly noble Freihof, but a total of 11 Jewish families live there in a very small space.  Since the houses are partly very dilapidated, the administration of the Julusspital plans extensive building measures in the 18th century. Draft plans for the construction of a Jewish house with a total of 10 families were submitted.

The mikvah in Laudenbach is built at the beginning of the 19th century, it stands on the former property of a Christian miller next to the road to Himmelstadt. The Laudenbach, in which countless trout cavort, flows with constant pouring and high speed directly past the building. You can see a small one-story house made of quarry stones with sides about 3 meters long. The walls are interrupted by the entrance door and three barred windows.

Before the renovation of the large yellow house in Rathausstraße, one could still decipher the faded inscription "J. Hirschenberger Landesprodukte" on the facade. Jakob Hirschenberger was the last matzo baker here in the village, he also ran a trade with grain and country products in his house. For 14 years he was a respected member of the Laudenbach local council. On March 29, 1933, he had to resign from office under pressure from the National Socialists. Together with his second wife Lina, he made it possible for his four children to escape from Germany in time.

In 1873, Friedrich Hirschmann and Samuel Lev Kitzinger founded the private bank Hirschmann & Kitzinger in Fürth, later also in Nuremberg. In 1918, the bank was taken over by Commerzbank. The former owners and sons of the company founders Carl Hirschmann and and Dr. Gebriel Kitzinger remained managers of the branches in Fürth and Nuremberg until 1936. Carl Hirschmann and his family emigrated to the USA in 1936 under increasing pressure and the National Socialist policy of exclusion.
