Judenstrasse (Einbeck)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jews street is a street in the old town of Einbeck in the district Northeim .

Surname

The street name has been attested since 1355. The street is named after the medieval synagogue ( jodenscole ) that was located here. As the written sources show, a neighborhood made up of Jews and Christians lived on Judenstrasse. It is centrally located in relation to the market square , a side street between Langer Brücke and Wolperstrasse.

On the map of 1740 it is called “Die Jödden Strasse”, in 1814 “de Joedden Strasse”, 1843 “Die Jüdden Strasse” and since 1873 Judenstrasse. During the Nazi dictatorship in 1935, it was renamed “Pfänderwinkel” (extension of the existing Pfänderwinkel street), but only in 1985 did Judenstrasse get its historical name again.

Development

Until recently, the street was very closely built up. Hardly anything of it has survived. Existing front houses from the 16th century (built after the city fire of 1540) were demolished in 1969.

synagogue

House no. 4 was located where the driveway to the parking deck is now, with an inscription dated 1576. Mithoff lists it as one of Einbeck's oldest half-timbered houses: “House no. 2 in Jöddenstrasse v. J. 1576 with a little sign, on which the symbol of the bakers guild, a so-called ring appears. “The construction date coincides with the incitement of the pastor Johann Velius , which caused the last members of the Jewish community to leave Einbeck.

At this point one suspects the first Einbeck synagogue. She is well known from literary sources:

  • June 6, 1355: Oldegard, Hinrikus Braxatori's widow, owns the house, farm and stede "was in the Joden straten between Hans Müler's house and the school of the Joden."
  • October 31, 1394: Tyle von Usler owns the house, farm and stede in Judenstrasse "by der muren, de von Junghen bomgarden hene gehynt."
  • May 31, 1467: Essera de yodde owns the house, farm and stede "stood on the yoddenstraten between the yoddenschole and the Albrecht Müller floor."

As in other cities, the synagogue building was possibly owned by the city of Einbeck, and the Jewish community had to pay rent for it.
