Jewish community of Kirchschönbach
The Jewish community of Kirchschönbach was an Israelite religious community in today's Prichsenstadt district of Kirchschönbach in the Lower Franconian district of Kitzingen . The parish existed from the 16th century until 1911.
history
For the first time, Jews in Kirchschönbach become tangible in 1552. A document from the Fürstlich Castell archive mentions the "Jobst Jud zu Kirchschönbach" this year. In the following centuries the Jews in Kirchschönbach are no longer mentioned. It was not until the beginning of the 18th century that Jews were found in the village. However, no names of the individual people have survived at this time.
The registration lists of 1817 specified a constant number of twelve Jewish families for Kirchschönbach. This year Fromm Seligmann Selig, Joseph Maier, Isaac Maier, Isaac Samuel Neu, Lippmann Haehnlein Dornheimer, Moses Abraham Brunn, Salomon David Hamburger, Seligmann Haehnlein Hahn, Seligmann Marx Straus, Gottlieb Fromm Wolf, Aron Hahn and Kusel Selig are in Alteschönbach resident. The Jews worked in many professions, including traders, cuddlers and rope makers .
In 1852 there was a Jewish school in Kirchschönbach. It is possible that the Jewish children were taught by their own teacher at that time. By 1878, the school district was dissolved and operated as the "combined Israelite religion teacher position Prichsenstadt-Kirchschönbach" based in Prichsenstadt . The local synagogue was sold in 1894, and the school was sold in 1911. The last Jew, Aron Hahn, died in Kirchschönbach in 1911.
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 .
