Alemannia Judaica

A synagogue or a prayer room was present at least since the time around 1700. Initially, such a prayer room was established in a house belonging to Barthel Hunefeldt. Then a prayer room could be established in the small castle (Eisenach life). Shortly before 1716 a new synagogue was built. From this year a document is preserved, in which is reported about closer circumstances to the building of the house of worship: The lords of Rosenbach would have given the timber for the construction. The building itself, however, was built on princely Saxony-Eisenach land.

Initially there was a prayer hall or a first synagogue. A (new) synagogue was built in 1827. At the dedication of the Jewish school building in Kleinwallstadt in 1899, the desire was expressed for a "more appropriate prayer room and appropriate ritual bath", which should be carried out next to the school building. 
   

A synagogue was built in 1780. A document recorded in this regard: "The base area 1780 from Jüdle Katz received as a gift and in the same year the synagogue was built." The building was renovated several times in the following 150 years, including in 1863 and for the last time in 1928. The synagogue was a half-timbered building with half and full round arch windows, built on a sandstone foundation. The shallow trough vault inside was painted with ornaments in gray and red.

Initially, there was a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses, presumably already in the building owned by Jews (Samuel Katz) since 1812, in which the synagogue was established around 1854 (this building is listed in the fire cadastre as "Schulhaus").

In Niedermeiser there was a prayer room or a synagogue in one of the Jewish residential houses. The building in Bruchweg, which has survived to this day, was a two-story half-timbered building with a gable roof in the street. In the garden there was a "permanent" leaf hut in the place where there is also an annex today. The barn attached to the east served the shepherd for the ritual slaughters. 

Last use: after 1945 used as a residence and fire station. Since November 1990, the building has been used as a cultural meeting place.

At first there was probably a prayer room in one of the Jewish houses.

It is not known whether there was already a prayer hall or a synagogue in the Middle Ages.

In the second half of the 17th century (before 1671) a synagogue was built at the Obertor (Obertorstraße 33). It was a half-timbered building with a hall storey, gable roof, crippled hipped roofs and six large round-arched windows 3.40 meters high. In 1837, the building was rebuilt and a women's gallery was added to the upper floor. Until 1895, this synagogue was used.

Initially there was a prayer hall, later probably an older synagogue, which is first mentioned as "Judenschule" for the first time in 1802 in the fire cadastre of the community. This old synagogue stood on the site of the new synagogue of 1891 and was demolished in a dilapidated condition in 1889.

Since the beginning of the 18th century, Neckarsteinach had a synagogue or a prayer room in a building. In this was also a ritual bath. 1801 to 1803, the community decided to establish a new synagogue. For this purpose, a house was bought on the road to Hirschhorn (Hirschstraße) and a prayer room with a bathroom and a teacher's apartment was established in it. In 1886, however, the old synagogue had to be torn down due to dilapidation.
