Jewish Community

In the middle of the 19th century in Krudenburg, a place on the 
right bank of the Lippe, about 18 km upstream from the Lippemündung near 
Wesel, Jewish families can be traced. On a historical map can be found
 the house of a family Aron Wolf in the village center. As residents are 
the members of this family certainly in 1865 verifiable, 
möglicherweise, however, the family has already lived länger in Krudenburg.
 Anyway, the establishment of a cemetery indicates several families.

Historical group photo of a deputation (delegation) of the  "Nördlinger Privilegierte Schützengesellschaft of 1399", probably from a Bundesschießen or Ähnlichem. There must have been a big parade for it (the Bundesschießen took place every three years). In the middle under the flag is Abraham Weiler, who was from 1899  1st Schützenmeister, so chairman of the Schützengesellschaft.

The postcard from Rabbi Grünfeld and wife to Hannah Stein was sent from Augsburg on August 23, 1928. The sender of the card was Rabbi Richard Grünfeld and his wife Cäcilie Lilli Grünfeld née Stein. The recipient of the card was the niece Hannah Stein, who was probably in Stetten am kalten Markt at that time for a course at the Hochschule für Leibesübungen. The card is mostly written in Hebrew, only the last lines are a greeting from Cäcilie Lilli Grünfeld to her niece.
