Online Archive of Jewish Communities

In Stuttgart a small Jewish community existed initially in the Middle Ages: 1343 the Jew Loew is mentioned, who held an important position under Count Ulrich III. The persecution of Jews during the plague period destroyed the small community in November 1348. A few decades later (since 1393) Jews are again mentioned in the city, now residing in St. Leonhard's suburb. In 1488/98 the Stuttgart Jews were expelled. Since the end of the 14th century the Jewish settlement was in today s Brennerstrasse. No traces of this medieval community have survived.

Strümpfelbrunn as the seat of the municipal administration, is the main town of the municipality Waldbrunn.

In Strümpfelbrunn, which belonged to the Electoral Palatinate until the beginning of the 19th century, there was a Jewish community until 1938/40. Its origins date back to the time of the 18th century and the Jewish community was founded in the 18th century. For the first time 1757 Jewish inhabitants are mentioned in the place.
