history

Before the Second World War , the 21 Jewish communities in the Potsdam district and the 32 Jewish communities in the Frankfurt district were part of the Prussian state association of law-abiding synagogue communities, the so-called Halberstädter Verband .

The right to corporate rights for the Jewish communities was based on the "Law on the Conditions of the Jews" of July 23, 1847. On the basis of Section 53 of the "Law on the Conditions of the Jews" and the laws regarding the withdrawal from the Church (of May 14, 1873) and the law regarding the withdrawal from religious societies (of November 30, 1920), the right to found a new congregation in the area of ​​the "main congregation" arose in what was then Prussia , and thus the right to be granted corporate rights .

Since 1991, the State of Brandenburg has had the State of Brandenburg Jewish Community, which is registered in the register of associations; it received on November 26, 1993 the status of a corporation under public law.

Until 1998, only the Jewish community in Potsdam existed in the state of Brandenburg. With the influx of Jewish emigrants from the former CIS states, additional Jewish communities were formed in Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg and Bernau near Berlin. In 1999 the Jewish community was formed in Cottbus and in 2000 the communities in Oranienburg and Königs Wusterhausen. Furthermore, in 1999 in Brandenburg the law-abiding Jewish state community was founded. She does not belong to the regional association.

financing

According to its Secretary General, the association receives grants on the basis of a state treaty which do not even guarantee the "minimum requirements" for the viability and workability of the association and its communities. Brandenburg is the "sad bottom of the national average".

The state of Brandenburg wants to support the purchase of the Cottbus Castle Church by the Jewish State Association with a donation of 582,000 euros and also to contribute 50,000 euros annually to the operating costs of the building. The Jewish community undertakes to guarantee its use as a synagogue for at least 25 years. The city of Cottbus declares its readiness to guarantee some necessary construction measures - the removal of the permanently installed crosses and the suspension of the bell.
