history

Jews living in Hüttenheim were mentioned as early as 1498. In 1812 there were 173 Jewish residents in Hüttenheim, i.e. 20% of the Hüttenheim population, who buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery in Rödelsee .

In 1818 the first Jew found his final resting place in the Jewish cemetery in Hüttenheim. Also dead from the surrounding communities Bullenheim , Dornheim, Mainbernheim , Marktbreit , Nenzenheim, Uffenheim and Weigenheim were buried there in the following years.

National Socialists desecrated the Jewish cemetery in 1938. A memorial on the site of the former morgue ( Tahara House ) commemorates this event.
