After 1700 the Jewish community of Durbach was established and it had a synagogue , a school and a ritual bath ( mikveh ). In 1813 the Jewish cemetery in Durbach was established. The community was assigned to the district rabbinate Schmieheim in 1827 .

The Jewish residents were mainly traders, but also butchers and bakers. The land trade was their special domain.

In 1933, the Jewish family Moritz Bodenheimer / Albert Strauss (eight people in total) owned a bakery and their son Julius Bodenheimer owned a liquor store. Since 1933 the Bodenheimer and Strauss families ran a hachshara in Durbach (training center for young Jewish people who wanted to emigrate to Palestine). (from: alemannia judaica)
