history
According to Siegfried Heimberg , all Jewish people in Westphalia were recorded in communities after the Second World War. In 1945 there were still 18 Jewish communities. After the amalgamation of smaller communities, ten communities remained, all of which belonged to the state association of Jewish religious communities of Westphalia. In January 1946, the Jewish communities in Bielefeld , Bochum-Herne-Hattingen , Dortmund , Gelsenkirchen , Hagen , Herford - Detmold , Minden , Münster , Paderborn and Recklinghausen formed a regional association with Siegfried Heimberg, Max Rosenbaum and Kurt Neuwald from Gelsenkirchen as board members. After the establishment of the state of Israel in May 1948 and a new American immigration law in June 1948, many emigrated from the "land of the perpetrators" by 1949. Even many of those who ultimately stayed in Germany justified their stay as supposedly temporary and spoke of a “life in packed suitcases”.
In 1989 only 745 people belonged to the municipalities of the Landesverband Westfalen-Lippe. Due to the influx of Jews from the CIS states after the collapse of the Soviet Union , there were almost 5,000 members in the nine Jewish communities in Westphalia in 1997. The communities in Recklinghausen and Dortmund recorded particularly large increases. Between 1989 and 1997, the Jewish community in Dortmund grew from 300 to 2,763 members. The Jewish community of Recklinghausen grew from barely 100 to over 1000 members in the same period, so that the Bochum community became independent.
