"Judenbad" is the local name for the Friedberg mikvah. With its 25 meters depth and a square cross-section of 5.5 x 5.5 meters, it is the largest and most impressive mikveh in Germany. It is one of the few monumental mikvahs preserved from the Middle Ages.

Since only "living water," such as groundwater, is needed for a ritual bath, the shaft runs vertically through the basalt rock on which the town of Friedberg stands. The water can rise to a maximum of five meters and has a temperature of about 7.5°C.

According to an old document from 1766, the cemetery should have been established already "one hundred years ago", i.e. around 1666. This would probably correspond approximately to the first immigration of Jews in the village. The oldest preserved gravestone, however, dates from 1761. Since late summer 1920 there has been a memorial stone in the center of the cemetery for the two fallen soldiers of the First World War of the Oerlinghausen synagogue community: Albert Kulemeyer (1918) and Ernst Joachim Meyer (1914). The last burial took place in 1937.

The Prussian Jewish Edict of 1812 made it possible for the nine Jews living in the Beeskow-Storkow district since the end of the 17th century to obtain Prussian citizenship. With this legal acceptance into the population, Jews were given the chance to integrate into life. They were able to pursue higher education and careers in politics and business.
