Jewish Community

After 1945, initially only a few Jewish people moved back in the city (survivors from concentration camps, only a few of them from pre-war Erfurt.). A first community center was built in rented rooms Am Anger 30/32, until on August 31, 1952 (10 Ellul 5712) a new synagogue with community center could be inaugurated.

Only towards the end of the 19th century again a Jewish community called "Israelitische Vereinigung" was established in a rented room of a back house in the Pauritzer Gasse (today's Pauritzer Straße), to which largely Jewish families from Eastern European countries belonged. The first influx of Jewish families began in the late 1860s. In 1868, a Wilhelm Wolff registered a text business in Altenburg. From the association an independent religious community was formed at the end of the 1920s.

History

Traces of Jewish life in Nuremberg go back far into the Middle Ages. As early as the beginning of the 12th century, Jews*Jewesses from surrounding regions find themselves fleeing persecution and settle in Nuremberg. 

The Jewish community Duisburg-Mülheim exists since 1955. The double community joined in 1968 also the Jewish religious community Oberhausen. Today, the congregation consists of about 2,800 members. Many of them come from the successor states of the former Soviet Union. In 1999, the community center was inaugurated on the inner harbor of Duisburg, which was to replace the former community center in Mülheim. 

Built jointly with the synagogue (designed by Constantin Uhde) and completed in 1875. The synagogue was destroyed on Pogrom Night in 1938 and completely demolished in 1940. The community hall remained.
