Online Archive of Jewish Communities

For the first time Jewesses*Jews 1241/42 (Reichssteuerliste) are mentioned in the city. The persecution of Jews during the plague period 1349 destroyed the community. Only in 1412 Jews are mentioned again in the town. In 1469 the Jews were expelled from the town for the first time, and in 1501 for the second time. In the 19th century after the influx of several Jewish families, a private Jewish community 1888 was founded, which in 1890 was accepted by the Israelitische Oberkirchenbehörde into the state association of Württemberg communities.
