Jewish community Schlipsheim
The Jewish community in Schlipsheim , today's district of Neusäß in the Augsburg district ( Bavaria ), was formed at the beginning of the 18th century and existed until the 1860s.
history
The local government took in several Jewish families at the beginning of the 18th century and had a large house built for them (Schlipsheimer Straße 124, 126, 128), the so-called Judenhaus . In 1701 an Abraham Leve from Schlipsheim is mentioned, in 1710 Benjamin Leve and in 1712 Berle Leve and Isaac Leve von Schlipsheim. Between 1744 and 1746 the horse dealer Santer Guggenheimer from Schlipsheim was put on record.
The number of Jewish residents on site was between 35 and almost 50 people. The Jewish community had a prayer room, a room for religious instruction for the children and a mikveh , which is still reminiscent of the field name Judendauche . The dead of the Jewish community were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Kriegshaber . The Jewish community had employed a teacher who was both a prayer leader and a shochet .
The Jewish families lived in the Jewish house mentioned above until the middle of the 19th century . In 1808, the nine local Jewish families each bought a ninth of this house. In 1840 the following families each had a ninth share: Jakob Löffler, Isak Weil, Isak Wölsch, Abraham Gruber, Sara Fränkl, David Heinemann, Lazarus Groß, Gottlieb Michl (before 1823 Jonas Hirschmann) and Karoline Gruber. In 1852 40 people lived in the Judenhaus , 18 Jews and 22 Christians. By the 1860s, almost all Jewish families had moved from Schlipsheim, especially to Augsburg , where economic conditions were favorable.
