Jewish settlement in Altenstadt (Iller)
The Jewish settlement in Altenstadt (Iller) , a market in the Swabian district of Neu-Ulm , was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building ensemble is a protected monument with the file number: E-7-75-111-1.
history
The Lords of Rechberg accepted Jews from around 1650 in the area of their rule. Under the Counts of Limburg-Styrum, from around 1720/22, a separate, closed residential area for the Jews was laid out for the Jews along the road from Ulm to Memmingen , away from the older town center near the church . In 1834 400 Jews lived in the village.

description
The former Judengasse is still clearly visible in its old building stock within today's Memminger Straße between the confluence of Schillerstraße and the Hotel Fischer, the former Jewish restaurant. The residential buildings, which were initially built by the landlords according to a uniform plan, were transferred to the residents' ownership from 1789. Towards the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries, classicist buildings with mansard roofs were added to the older rows of houses on both sides of the street, made up of closely spaced two-storey side eaves buildings . In the early 19th century, the Jewish settlement had reached its greatest extent with 56 families in over 30 houses. Despite the loss of historical building material, the most difficult of which was the demolition of the former synagogue in 1955 and despite disruptive interventions, especially within the street-side ground floor zones, the original closed character of the settlement with the two basic types of residential buildings is still recognizable.
