Synagogue

The large choral synagogue was built in what was then Yelizavetgrad in 1853. During the pogrom in April 1881 it became one of the sites of anti-Jewish riots. Shortly after the violence broke out, a crowd gathered in front of the synagogue. According to rumors that spread quickly through the city, shots were fired from there. This is how the correspondent of the newspaper Rassvet described the events at the synagogue.

"From the synagogue, it is said, some shots were fired, and this broke the camel's back. The crowd rushed at the synagogue with all its might and took it by storm."

On the site where Wiesbaden's Old Synagogue was located a memorial to the city's murdered Jews was established on January 27, 2011 

Even before the Reformation, i.e. since the beginning of the 16th century, Jewish families are said to have been accepted in Bruck. In 1515, the Margravial Diet decided to expel the Jews, which allowed one or another family from Erlangen to settle in the neighboring community of Bruck. In 1431 Jews are mentioned in the village for the first time. In 1604 a Jewish dwelling house is mentioned. It is probably the same one mentioned in a report from 1842. According to it, the house No. 12 belonged to the Jewish community "since time immemorial".

A synagogue was already present in Usingen at the beginning of the 19th century, although it was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish residential houses. In 1852, a new synagogue and worship order was issued. In 1877 the synagogue was in such a dilapidated condition that it could not be renovated.
