Järkendorf Jewish community
The Jewish community Järkendorf was an Israelite religious community in the area of today's Prichsenstadt district Järkendorf in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . It existed from the 18th century until 1883.
history
In the 18th century, the Jewish families lived in a so-called Judenhaus , which was located in the middle of the village. At least two Jewish households in Järkendorf are recorded for the year 1720 . In 1740 there were already six families of Jewish faith living in the village. However, it was due to the small number of this population group that the Järkendorfer Jews were unable to form their own community in the 18th century.
After the Kingdom of Bavaria had set the number of Jews on so-called matriculation places, eight Jewish families lived in Järkendorf in 1817. The cattle dealers Joseph Samuel Reinhard, Samuel Salomon Schild and the dealer Hirsch Salomon Löbhard. Feist Hennoch Hennochstein worked as a boiler. Hajum Wolf Wolfsthaler and Loeb Machul Hartenstein worked as cuddlers . Hirsch Mayer Wesser was a porcelain dealer and Moses Schild worked as a farmer from 1825.
A year later, in 1818, four families still lived in the Jewish house before the Jews settled in different houses in Järkendorf up to 1827. In 1852 six Jewish families had their own house in the village. In one of these houses there was also a small prayer room. With a request from 1854, the Järkendorfer Jews from the Brünnau school tried to be trained and to get their own school house.
In 1855 the three Jewish communities Järkendorf, Rimbach and Lülsfeld were established as a separate school district . Lessons took place alternately in the three locations. Until the 1880s, the Jewish residents moved away, most of them settled in nearby Gerolzhofen . The last Jewish resident died in 1883. The Judenhaus had already been sold in the middle of the 19th century. It was canceled in 1958.
Community development
From 1839, the religious community was assigned to the Bavarian district rabbinate Niederwerrn , which was converted into the district rabbinate Schweinfurt from 1864 .
