Jewish Community

The Jewish community in Buttenhausen in the south of Württemberg in the Lauter Valley in the Swabian Alb dates back to the settlement of 25 Jewish families who received a letter of protection from Baron von Liebenstein (1730-1799) in 1787. They enjoyed unusually tolerant and liberal conditions here, following the example of the Jewish community in Jebenhausen. In 1789 a cemetery was built, in 1795 a synagogue was opened.
