history

A Jewish community existed in Messelhausen from the 18th century to 1931. From 1783 to 1788, Jewish families were first mentioned on site. The Jewish community in Messelhausen owned the Messelhausen synagogue , a religious school and a ritual bath . In 1890 the Jewish community Grünsfeld was named as a branch in Messelshausen. The dead of the Jewish community were buried in Allersheim. In 1827 the Jewish community of Messelhausen was assigned to the Wertheim district rabbinate . In 1931, when only two Jewish families were still living in the area, the Jewish community in Messelhausen was dissolved. In 1933, at the beginning of National Socialist rule, there were still six Jewish residents. After increasing disenfranchisement and increased reprisals as well as the effects of the ordered economic boycott of Jewish businesses, a family emigrated to the USA .
