Jewish Community

The Jewish community of Heilbronn has a long history. A significant settlement of Jews in Heilbronn existed as early as the 11th century and probably had a first synagogue at that time. The late medieval community had to endure outrages such as the Rintfleisch pogrom or the plague pogroms, but was also under the protection of the German kings and emperors in the imperial city of Heilbronn.
