District rabbinate Buttenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Buttenhausen District Rabbinate was established in Buttenhausen in Württemberg in 1832 and was one of 13 District Rabbinates , also known as District Synagogues.

By decree of the Ministry of the Interior of August 3, 1832, after the amalgamation or dissolution of various Jewish communities, the now 41 parishes were divided into 13 district rabbinates. Buttenhausen became the seat of a rabbinical district because there was a large Jewish community there, which in 1870 had 442 members. The district rabbinates were subordinate to the upper church authority , which was also created in 1832 . After 1887, the Buttenhausen rabbinate was merged with the Buchau rabbinate and on July 1, 1913, the Buttenhausen district rabbinate was repealed. The Jewish community of Buttenhausen was affiliated to the Buchau district rabbinate .

tasks

The tasks included the execution of the sovereign ordinances, the proclamation and the enforcement of the ordinances of the higher church authority, advice on school matters, the administration of foundations and the distribution of alms . To finance the district rabbinates, levies were paid by the individual Jewish communities.
