Jewish cemetery (Bleicherode)
The cemetery is located in the south of the city, above the Schustergasse, accessible via a forest path branching off from the street Vogelberg
.
The Jewish community of the town was able to establish a cemetery as late as the 17th century (around 1660), for which they had to pay (1728) an annual tax of 12 groschen. The cemetery area covers 18.00 ar. and is terraced. The wealthier Jews of the town were obviously buried on the lower four terraces. There are about 220 graves. The southern part of the cemetery adjoining the Bleichenröder forest merges into forest.
Jewish cemetery Bauerbach (grave field)
The cemetery is located east of the old country road in the direction of Behrungen in the immediate vicinity of the border with Bavaria (1949 to 1990 located on the border fence of the former GDR). The dead of Berkach's Jewish community were buried in Kleinbardorf from the time of the first settlement of Jewish persons in the village around 1700 until after 1820. After 1820, the Berkach community was able to buy a plot of land above the "Rothrasen" and establish its own cemetery there.
Synagogue Klaubergasse (Usingen)
A synagogue was already present in Usingen at the beginning of the 19th century, although it was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish residential houses. In 1852, a new synagogue and worship order was issued. In 1877 the synagogue was in such a dilapidated condition that it could not be renovated.

Nuremberg
The dating of the first Jewish life in Nuremberg is not clear. Both the year 1096 and the period from 1136 to 1146 are considered probable according to different sources. A document of Henry V (1111-1125) proves a Jewish community for the year 1112. The construction of a synagogue with associated mikvah in the 13th century suggests a certain prosperity of the community.

Potthofstraße Synagogue (Hagen)
Jews lived in Hagen according to written documents since the beginning of the 18th century. They did not have a religious center, but prayed in various private houses until the year 1819, where, among other things, a synagogue and a school were housed in an older half-timbered building.
It was not until 1859 that the Jewish community of Hagen was able to inaugurate its new synagogue in Potthofstraße. Forty years later, the house of worship was rebuilt and rededicated.
Jewish Community Duisburg-Mülheim-Oberhausen (Duisburg)
The Jewish community Duisburg-Mülheim exists since 1955. The double community joined in 1968 also the Jewish religious community Oberhausen. Today, the congregation consists of about 2,800 members. Many of them come from the successor states of the former Soviet Union. In 1999, the community center was inaugurated on the inner harbor of Duisburg, which was to replace the former community center in Mülheim.
Synagogue Tempelstraße (Bonn)
The Old Synagogue in Bonn was built in 1878/79 on the Judengasse (until 1886, later Tempelstraße), which had been laid out from 1715.
On November 10, 1938, the synagogue and the community hall were set on fire, and the following year they were destroyed and demolished.
The property passed from the Jewish community to the ownership of the city of Bonn in June 1939. A day care center was built on the property, which was demolished after the end of World War II. The site was used as a parking lot.
Beit Tikwa Synagogue Bielefeld
In 2007/2008, the Jewish religious community in Bielefeld planned to build a synagogue, as the previous premises had become too small for the members of the growing community after the Protestant Paul Gerhardt congregation merged with the Neustadt Mariengemeinde in 2005. After the merger, the Paul Gerhardt Church was up for sale and the Jewish community tried to acquire the building for its religious center. It was not until September 21, 2008, after conflicts between the Protestant and Jewish communities, that the dedication took place.
