Synagogue

Last use: living space

Until around 1830, services were held in a private house. In 1831 the upper floor of this house in Kirchenstraße was converted into a synagogue room. On the first floor the teacher/preacher had his apartment. For over 100 years the synagogue was the center of the Conservative-Orthodox Jewish community life in Strümpfelbrunn. Until after 1933, customs and liturgical traditions were maintained here that had already become a thing of the past in many communities. This was ensured until after 1933 by the long-time community leader Götz Israel.

The synagogue building was a three-story building that extended from Bachgasse to Gerbergasse. It also housed the Jewish school and the teacher/precentor's apartment until 1879, when they were moved to the Jewish community center at Hauptstraße 72. On September 1, 1879, the Jewish congregation sold the synagogue building, which was apparently in serious disrepair at the time, to congregation member Samuel Heimann for 4,000 marks, but retained in it the right to use the prayer hall and the women's bath.
