history

The Jewish community of Rouhling already had a synagogue in the 18th century and in 1808 the community numbered 47 people. Due to the emigration, especially to the neighboring Grosbliederstroff , the community dissolved by the middle of the 19th century. From 1808 the Jewish community belonged to the Israelite consistorial district of Metz .
