State Rabbinate Bamberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bamberg State Rabbinate was established in 1658 in the Bamberg Monastery as an organizational form of the Jewish residents in the Principality of Bamberg .

The creation of a state rabbinate including all protective Jews of the bishopric and the chivalrous places was signed on February 18, 1619. Due to the Thirty Years War , implementation was delayed until August 1, 1658. Now the seat of the state rabbinate has been set up in Zeckendorf .

The state rabbinate was abolished with the Jewish edict of 1813 and the organization of the district rabbinates was created.

tasks

The establishment of a state rabbinate made it possible to collectively take care of the taxes. In 1644 the amount of protection money was uniformly regulated and set at 23 florins ( guilders ) per family and year. The protection money was collected from the country messengers. The country messengers were delegates to the assembly of deputies of the rural Jews. Now the community was responsible for the donations.

structure

The Bamberg State Rabbinate was divided into five districts with 25 communities:

  • Bamberg city district
  • Circle burg
  • District of Hagenbach
  • Aischgrund district
  • Zeckendorf district
