history

Laudenbach from the Stettener Stein

The place was first mentioned in 1133 and until 1612 belonged to the Counts of Wertheim . They built Laudenbach Castle above the town , of which two Romanesque keep still exist .

The Jewish cemetery in Laudenbach was built around 1600 .

In 1612 the place fell to the Würzburger Hochstift. Bishop Julius re-Catholicized the population, which had been reformed by the Counts of Wertheim around 1590, and had the church of St. Giles built. In the Laudenbach local coat of arms you can find their patron, in which at the same time the Wertheim rose reminds of the former village lords.

The Jewish community that immigrated under the Wertheimers remained untouched under the protection of the Voite von Rieneck and the Juliusspital , which owned a noble court here. The local Jewish families built a synagogue on Bandwörthstrasse in 1794 . During the November pogrom in 1938 it was devastated by SA men and has since been used for other purposes, but is to be made available to the public again. Many design elements, such as the women's gallery , are no longer there, but the beginnings - in this case, corbels - are still recognizable. The same applies to wall and ceiling paintings. With a memorial plaque on the outside, on which the wedding stone can also be seen, the community is already commemorating its persecuted and murdered Jewish fellow citizens. A tahara room was also accessible from the outside in the synagogue. About 30 families had after 1938 the place in which it also has a mikveh and a Mazzenbäckerei was abandoned.

On May 1, 1978, the previously independent municipality of Laudenbach was incorporated into the district town of Karlstadt.
