District rabbinate Ichenhausen

The district rabbinate Ichenhausen was established according to the regulations of the Bavarian Jewish edict of 1813 in Ichenhausen , a town in the Swabian district of Günzburg in Bavaria .

The district rabbinate Ichenhausen was established because the Jewish community in Ichenhausen was the second largest in Bavaria after Fürth . Around 1830 there were 1,300 people, almost half of the residents of Ichenhausen.
