Synagogue

Until 1838 the synagogue was located in the upper part of the house No. 31 (today Nürnberger Straße 16, rear building). This house belonged to Löb Jakob until around 1840. Since 1735 the Jewish community had held its services in this house. In the lower part of the house there was a ritual bath. In the 1820s, the previous synagogue was in a "too ruinous and dilapidated" condition.

Former main synagogue, so-called "Altschul"

Built in 1615/16 on the model of the Pinkass Synagogue in Prague, consecrated in 1617.

Under the liberal Chief Rabbi Dr. Isaak Loewi, the "Old School" was rebuilt twice: in 1831 in the neo-Gothic style adapted to the requirements of Reform Judaism and in 1863-65 extended by a northern side aisle and provided with a Moorish facade.

A synagogue (judenschul) already existed in the Middle Ages. It is first mentioned in a document in 1393 and was located in the Judengasse near the Judentor. A more exact localization is not possible. In 1433 a precentor is mentioned. A richly illuminated Hebrew manuscript (Torah), written in 1390-1395 by the scribe Simcha ben Samuel Halewi for Jacob Meir ben Owadia in Coburg, testifies to a rich intellectual life of the Coburg Jews. After the expulsion of the Jews from Coburg, the synagogue was transformed into a Christian St.

On Sabbath Para 5520 = March 15, 1760 the synagogue in Bayreuth was consecrated. Already earlier Jews had lived in Bayreuth. Around the middle of the 13th century they had settled here and in 1515 they were forced to emigrate. Remains of the old Jewish settlement no longer exist, only one street is popularly called 'Judengasse', perhaps in memory of past times. Individual Jewesses*Jews were later allowed to move in especially if their services were needed.
