from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Jewish community in Korb , a district of the town of Möckmühl in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg , has existed since the 18th century. The Jewish community had its largest membership in 1833, then fell sharply due to emigration and was dissolved on August 27, 1903.

history

Former synagogue in Korb

Korb came from the possession of the Lords of Berlichingen in 1806 to the Kingdom of Württemberg and by exchange in 1846 to Baden . In 1832, when the Israelite religious community was organized in Württemberg, the Jewish community in Korb became a subsidiary of the Jewish community in Olnhausen and, with it, became the district rabbinate in Berlichingen . As a result of the affiliation with Baden in 1846, the now independent Jewish community came to the Baden district rabbinate in Merchingen.

On the top floor of the former residential building of the Rosenfeld family , who were the last Jewish family to leave Korb in 1926, paintings still remind of its use as a synagogue . The house was built in 1824, and in 1866 the school hall and the women's bath were also in this building.

Until the middle of the 19th century, the proportion of Jewish residents in the village was very high and then fell sharply when they moved to neighboring larger towns such as Adelsheim and Sennfeld or emigrated to America. The dead of the Jewish community were initially buried in the Berlichingen Jewish cemetery and, since 1885, in the Sennfeld Jewish cemetery .

National Socialist Persecution

The memorial book of the Federal Archives lists 7 Jewish citizens born in Korb who fell victim to the genocide of the National Socialist regime .
