Hundsbach Jewish community
The Hundsbach Jewish community in Hundsbach existed from the 18th century until the 1930s. She belonged to the Meisenheim rabbinical district .
history
The first mentions of Jews in the Hundsbach community go back to the end of the 17th century. A Jewish community developed in the 18th century. The Jewish community at times also included those in Becherbach , Bärweiler , Schweinschied , Löllbach and Hoppstädten . From around 1920 onwards, the minyan needed to hold church services could no longer be reached and the Jewish inhabitants attended the services in the synagogue in Sien . From 1933, after the seizure of power of Adolf Hitler , the Jewish inhabitants were increasingly disenfranchised. In addition, there were repeated anti-Jewish actions. As a result, other Jewish residents left Hundsbach.
