District rabbinate Mühringen

The Bezirksrabbinat Mühringen originated in 1832 in Mühringen and was one of 13 Bezirksrabbinaten in Württemberg , which were referred to 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. Mühringen became the seat of a rabbinical district, since Mühringen was the religious center for the Jews in southwest Germany as early as the 18th century. After 1911 the rabbinate was moved from Mühringen to Horb am Neckar . The district rabbinates were subordinate to the upper church authority , which was also created in 1832 .

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.
