Synagogue

"Building still completely preserved and clearly recognizable as a former synagogue; windows and doors preserved in original; Aron Hakodesh clearly recognizable; Ten Commandments tablets above the gable preserved and clearly visible, a building quite conspicuous in a village."(Schwierz, 1992) Last use: residential building, cafe and discotheque

With a letter of July 29, 1874 to the Israelite religious community, 32 members of the congregation asked to hold their own services in the prayer room of the community center according to the traditional rite. However, this was refused, as it was feared that the unity of the congregation would be dissolved. Thus, the first services (since New Year - Rosh Hashanah - 1874) were held in a rented hall.

The synagogue in Nuremberg, built by architect Adolf Wolff (1832-1885), was consecrated on September 8, 1874 . In March 1870, the cornerstone of the new building had been laid. The synagogue had 546 numbered male and 389 numbered female seats.  

Last use: Protestant parish hall until demolition in 1996.

1998 - New construction of a residential complex

First there was a prayer hall, then a first synagogue (small "shul", which belonged to the family of Löb Kaz). In 1786 the Jewish community built a new synagogue on today's property Schweinfurter Straße 23. Thanks to the generous support of the banker Löb Kent, who came from Niederwerrn, a monumental building could be erected, comparable in its dimensions and layout to the synagogue in Heidingsfeld (near Würzburg). The synagogue was rebuilt in 1885 and renovated in 1913.

About its construction and its inauguration on September 5, 1931 could be read in the Bayerische Israelitische Gemeindezeit on September 15, 1931: "Inauguration ceremony of the new synagogue in Munich. On Saturday, September 5, the new synagogue of the Eastern Jewish prayer hall associations Linath-Hazedek and Agudath-Achim in Munich on Reichenbachstrasse was handed over to its intended purpose in a solemn act in which the entire Jewish community of Munich participated without distinction of direction."

Since the mid-1870s, the Jewish community had been collecting funds for the construction of a new synagogue. Head Hirsch Stern established a synagogue building fund. In 1879, the assets of the fund already consisted of 3,550 marks, raised through donations. In 1881 the plans became concrete. At a congregational meeting in 1881, various proposals for the acquisition of a suitable site for the synagogue were discussed.

Already in the Middle Ages there was a Jewish community with a synagogue in Karlstadt. The city was planned and founded around 1200 by the Würzburg bishop Konrad von Querfurt on the drawing board. Hans Leopold Müller assumes that Jews were directly involved in the financing and construction of the town. However, this assumption is only supported by circumstantial evidence. There are no written records of the first Jewish community in Karlstadt. It is only known that it was wiped out by the pogrom in the course of the "Rindfleisch-Verfolgung" in 1298.
