Mikvah (Ritual Bath)

First intact mikvah in Nuremberg after the end of the war. Before that, the last dedication of a mikvah had taken place in 1866.
The ritual immersion bath is operated by the Orthodox community Chabad Nuremberg. 

The mikvah, a component of the Jewish ghetto in the medieval Lorenzer old town, is preserved to this day and lies about nine meters below the sidewalk.

The mikvah in Griedel, a district of Butzbach in the Wetterau district of Hesse, was discovered in 1984. The mikvah at Bruderstraße 15, in the backyard of a larger residential building, is a protected cultural monument.

It is believed that the mikvah was created in the 19th century, when the property became Jewish property. The installation of the ritual immersion bath represents an independent structure made of basalt quarry stones and is not integrated into an existing building. The appearance is very similar to a vaulted cellar.

The Humberghaus at Hohe Straße 1 in Hamminkeln-Dingden is an old residential and commercial building that is now used as a museum. It commemorates the Jewish family Humberg, who ran a butcher store and a manufactured goods store here and lived in Dingden until 1941. During the restoration starting in 2001 by members of the Heimatverein Dingden e. V., numerous traces of the life of this family were discovered and preserved in the house. Among other things, there is a private mikveh in the house, which is a rarity. The house, which was initially only rented, was purchased in 2008.[1]

The mikvah is located in the basement vault of the house Kornmarkt 22, a building that was used by the Jewish community in the town of Herborn (today: Lahn-Dill district, in Hesse) from 1677 to 1875. Here were also the synagogue and the schoolroom of the Jewish community.

The Jewish community of Köln in the Middle Ages was one of the oldest and most important on German soil. Expression of the bloom time of the community in the Middle Ages was the construction of a synagogue and a mikvah (the ritual bath), a Talmud school, a hospital and a hostel.
