The Jewish community acquired a building site in 1825 and built a house with a mikveh (Jewish ritual bath) by 1826. In the purchase contract the community had secured itself: The contract could be canceled if no water was found "at a usable depth" within 30 days, which was apparently the case. In 1832 a stove was purchased to heat the water. On the second floor there was a baking oven, in which the Jewish community probably made matzos. In the building today, due to alterations, no traces of the mikvah can be traced.
