Alemannia Judaica

A synagogue ("Judenschule") is mentioned already in 1789. The street where it was located is still called Judengasse today. The synagogue was leased to Lazarus Jacob for residential purposes in 1902 and auctioned off for 1,900 marks in 1907. The rituals and the Torah scrolls were moved to Kusel. The building still stands and is used as a residence. In the neighboring building, the remains of a mikvah were found during renovation work in the 1960s.

In 1805 Jacob Elkan established a synagogue (prayer hall) in his private house. Until his death, the services of the Jewish families in Weimar were held in this private synagogue. Above the decorated entrance door of the building are the intertwined initials "J.E." for Jacob Elkan.

Already in the 15th century there was possibly a synagogue, which is said to have been destroyed by Schwarzburg soldiers in 1492. But this indication has been doubted several times.   
Whether there was a prayer room in the 16th century is not known. 

First there was a prayer room available. The prayer room mentioned in 1852 in a status report on Jewish worship in the area of the Kirchheim district commissariat had been established "for 62 years already" in the house of Jacob Landsberg (that is since 1790). In 1814 the Jewish community purchased this house for 900 guilders. Over the years the condition of the prayer hall became worse and worse. In 1841 it was said that the building was "demolished", that is, in dilapidated condition. A little later it was demolished. 
 

At the end of the 17th century, the still few Rockenhausen Jews attended the synagogue in Alsenz. In the course of the 18th century, a prayer room may have been established in Rockenhausen. In 1811 Manasse Kahnweiler set up a prayer room on the upper floor of an outbuilding of his house at Luitpoldstr. 20 (formerly building No. 250 in the "Grad Gaß"), which was solemnly inaugurated.  In the 1860s the desire to build a synagogue in Rockenhausen arose. The first plans were drawn up in 1867/68 by the district building officer Rosenthal.

Since the end of the 1850s, there was a prayer room in the restoration of Abraham van der Wall. In 1859, in his advertisements appearing in Jewish periodicals, the remark is found for the first time: "Also a suitable prayer room, provided with a Torah, is prepared."
   

A synagogue was not present in Heppenheim for a long time. People met for services and prayers in private houses, before the construction of the synagogue last in the property Wormser Landstraße 24, which belonged to Mrs.
