Synagogue Rathofstraße (Oppenheim)

Complete profile

Already in the Middle Ages was a synagogue: This is the still preserved building of the Rathofkapelle in the Rathofstraße. This building was sold to the Eberbach Monastery (in the Rheingau) in 1394. Due to the rededication and renaming by the monastery, the original use of the building was completely forgotten.  
  

Synagogue at Trinity Square (Landshut)

Complete profile

The synagogue in Landshut was one of the necessary facilities of the small Jewish community in Landshut. The synagogue as well as the mikvah (the ritual immersion bath) adjoined the residential houses of the Jews, which were located on the Hofberg. From 1450 the situation of the Jews in the town worsened until their expulsion. The synagogue became a Christian property and was transformed into the Salvator Church. The square where the synagogue stood was from then on called Trinity Square.

Beaumarais Synagogue (Saarlouis)

According to a report from 1817, the Jews living in Beaumarais attended the synagogue in Wallerfangen, which was apparently not unproblematic, since in that year there was a dispute between the Jews living in Beaumarais and Wallerfangen. Presumably, the Jewish families in Beaumarais already wanted to break away from Wallerfangen at that time and have their own prayer hall. However, this did not happen until the middle of the 19th century. Between 1844 and 1850 a synagogue could be built at the Muhlenstraße.

Until the beginning of the 19th century there was one prayer hall or synagogue in each case (e.g. mentioned in 1737 in connection with the formula to the Jewish oath). On August 30, 1811 a synagogue could be consecrated at the western city wall. The ducal court factor Levi Simon had given the money for it and initially purchased two plots of land in the area of Untere Marktstraße with the then census numbers 22 and 23. The inauguration took place with the permission of Duke Frederick. The inauguration speech was held by Josef Michael Hirsch.
