Synagogue

Initially there was a prayer hall or a first synagogue. A (new) synagogue was built in 1827. At the dedication of the Jewish school building in Kleinwallstadt in 1899, the desire was expressed for a "more appropriate prayer room and appropriate ritual bath", which should be carried out next to the school building. 
   

A synagogue was built in 1780. A document recorded in this regard: "The base area 1780 from Jüdle Katz received as a gift and in the same year the synagogue was built." The building was renovated several times in the following 150 years, including in 1863 and for the last time in 1928. The synagogue was a half-timbered building with half and full round arch windows, built on a sandstone foundation. The shallow trough vault inside was painted with ornaments in gray and red.

Adorf is a small community in the north of Hesse in the Waldeck region. 

Jews settled in Adorf since the late 18th century. In 1872 the community counted 75 members, in 1933 still 20. Some Jews were able to emigrate, 8 became victims of persecution. 

In 1830 a synagogue and a school were built in the center of the village near St. John's Church. The synagogue was sold and demolished in 1937. The interior furnishings were destroyed in November 1938. Last use of the property: garden.

The community had a school with a teacher and a mikvah.

In Niedermeiser there was a prayer room or a synagogue in one of the Jewish residential houses. The building in Bruchweg, which has survived to this day, was a two-story half-timbered building with a gable roof in the street. In the garden there was a "permanent" leaf hut in the place where there is also an annex today. The barn attached to the east served the shepherd for the ritual slaughters. 

Last use: after 1945 used as a residence and fire station. Since November 1990, the building has been used as a cultural meeting place.

At first there was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses.

It is not known whether there was already a prayer hall or a synagogue in the Middle Ages.

In the second half of the 17th century (before 1671) a synagogue was built at the Obertor (Obertorstraße 33). It was a half-timbered building with a hall storey, gable roof, crippled hipped roofs and six large round-arched windows 3.40 meters high. In 1837, the building was rebuilt and a women's gallery was added to the upper floor. Until 1895, this synagogue was used.
