Prayer Room

A prayer room was located in the backyard to one of the Jewish houses (Arnsberg s.Lit.: "in a dark room").  
   
The house with the prayer room was sold and demolished around 1933. 

The only Jewish prayer house of once over 100 that was not destroyed by the Germans during the war also marked the border with the ghetto, which began on the right side of the street. The fact that the prayer house was located outside the ghetto probably saved it from destruction.

Because the minimum number of ten adult males (13 years of age completed) in the religious sense is no longer reached, which is required for a service, no services are held here today.

In 1730, the Aldingen local lord Georg Wolf von Kaltenthal accepts the first two Schutzjuden (Abraham and Mazam Kahn) and assigns them the old parsonage near the Margarethenkirche as their home. In the attic of the parsonage, the two Jews set up a prayer room, which was probably used as a religious meeting place by the Jewish community of Aldingen until 1798 (purchase of the house at Kirchstraße 15 and conversion into a synagogue)

The prayer room was located in the Kaufmann family home.
