Jewish Community

The Jewish community of Treysa existed in Treysa in the Schwalm-Eder district of northern Hesse at least since the 18th century and until its extermination by the Nazi regime in 1938/1942.

The Jewish community in Wetzlar already existed in the High Middle Ages and was always only a small kehillah. The Jewish Restitution Successor Organization (JRSO) described it in 1960 as "one of the oldest Jewish communities in southwestern Germany."[1] The community formed the synagogue congregation for the district of Wetzlar from August 1853.

With almost 1100 members, the Jewish community in the state of Bremen is one of the larger Jewish communities in Germany. Until 2000, like the communities of Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin, it formed an independent state association within the Central Council of Jews in Germany, which represented the Jewish community in Bremen. Since 2000, the Jewish state association of Bremen has also represented the Jewish community of Bremerhaven, so that the communities in Bremen and Bremerhaven form their own state association that includes the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

The Windecken Synagogue was until 1938 the synagogue of the Jewish community in Windecken, today a district of Nidderau in the Main-Kinzig district in Hesse.
