Jewish Community

Immediately after the end of the war, the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde München (IKG) moved back into premises at Herzog-Max-Strasse 7 and had its administrative headquarters there. It was in the immediate vicinity of the place where the main synagogue had stood, demolished in June 1938 on direct orders from Adolf Hitler. The IKG’s efforts in 1949 to establish a green space to commemorate this destruction were rejected by the City of Munich, with the argument that parking spaces were urgently needed in the city center.

In the Munich district of Feldmoching, a separate Jewish DP community with up to 300 members had been founded, probably toward the end of 1945. In addition to a Talmud Torah school, the community also had a kosher kitchen. The Makabi Feldmoching football club played in the Jewish regional league; later the club merged with Hakoach Freising to form the Jüdischer Sportklub Feldmoching-Freising, which continued operating until toward the end of 1948.

So-called ‚Judenhaus‘ Bautzner Straße 20

In the middle of the 14th century, the presence of Jews was mentioned in the oldest Glatz city register.

The highest number of 30 families and 30 percent of the population was reached around 1850. By 1936, the number had fallen to 6 Jews, the last two were deported in 1942.

The synagogue was sold in 1908, demolished around 1960 and replaced by an extension to the pub. New building as village community center 2020-2022.

According to a report by the Jewish Relief Unit, only three German-Jewish families lived in Goslar in the first months after the war. This changed in the late summer of 1945 with the arrival of mostly Eastern European Jews, so that the Jewish community already numbered 157 people in September.
