The house at Obere Herrngasse 1 is a former rabbinate building from the Biedermeier period .

Description and history

A previous building burned down in 1836. Henle Reiss, who received fire insurance compensation of 2,300  florins , sold the property to Friedrich Eberhard Sandel. He began in 1837 with the construction of the new house diagonally opposite the prayer room. The roof and wooden parts have been dendrochronologically dated to 1836 and 1837; The house was apparently completed in 1838. This year was inserted into the limestone pavement in front of the entrance.

The classical plastered building has a symmetrically structured facade with a gable and a round arch portal. The traces of the mezuzah can still be seen at the entrance . The rabbinate has been located here since 1900 or 1914.

Friedrich Eberhard Sandel sold the house to Carl (or Karl) August Sandel in 1854, who sold it to the businessman Jakob Kahn in 1870. His widow Jette bequeathed it to her daughter Lea Herz, who took over the house in 1900. In the address books of 1928 and 1938, the couple Rifka and Jakob Berlinger are named as residents. In front of the house there is a stumbling block for Helene Roberg, who was born in 1908 and who fled to Holland in 1939 and was later deported to Sobibor .
