District rabbinate Welbhausen

The Welbhausen District Rabbinate was established in Welbhausen , a district of Uffenheim in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district in northern Bavaria , in accordance with the provisions of the Bavarian Edict of Jews from 1813 .

The Jewish community of Welbhausen was by far the largest Jewish community in the area around 1800. For this reason and because the district rabbinate Ansbach was divided because of its size, Welbhausen was designated in 1838 as the seat of a district rabbinate.

In 1877 the seat of the rabbinate was moved to Uffenheim and now the rabbinate was called: District rabbinate Welbhausen-Uffenheim. In 1880 it was dissolved and the two places now belonged to the district rabbinate of Ansbach.

tasks

The duties included advising on school matters, managing foundations and distributing alms . To finance the district rabbinates, levies were paid by the individual Jewish communities.
