Complete profile

The Jewish community in Massenbach in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg existed from the early 18th century. The religious community, which had its highest membership in 1843 with 85 people, was a branch community of Massenbachhausen from 1832, before the community seat was moved to Massenbach in 1867. The decline of the community already began in the second half of the 19th century due to emigration. Most of the 15 Jews still living in Massenbach in 1933 emigrated to the USA before 1938, and the community was dissolved in May 1938.

The Jewish community in Massenbachhausen in the district of Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg existed from the early 18th century. After the Massenbachhausen synagogue was built in 1826, the village became the seat of an Israelite religious community with the Massenbach and Bonfeld branches in 1832. When the community, which still numbered 54 in 1854, dwindled considerably in the 1860s due to emigration, the seat of the religious community was moved to neighboring Masenbach and the synagogue was sold in 1872. After that, only a few Jews lived in Massenbachhausen.
