The former synagogue in the Bopfingen sub-community of Oberdorf is now a listed building. After it was built on the foundation walls of a previous building, the building served for over 100 years as a house of prayer for the Jewish community of Oberdorf. At times the community was so important in Oberdorf that a rabbinate was established there in 1823. Oberdorf was the 8th of a total of 13 rabbinate seats in Wuerttemberg and united the Jewish communities of Aufhausen, Lauchheim and Pflaumloch. The rabbinate had over 1000 members.
