history

General

The first mention of Seibersbach dates back to 983 when Emperor Otto II. The Mainzer archbishop Willigis the two villages Dörrebach and Seibersbach gave.

Jewish history of Seibersbach

Presumably in the second half of the 18th century, a small Jewish community emerged in Seibersbach, which by the end of the 19th century had grown to around 70 people.

From the 1850s the Seibersbach community had its own synagogue . This was centrally located in the center of the village. In addition, the community used a cemetery, which was located further north on the edge of the forest. Before the 1850s, the Seibersbach Jews prayed in the church in Schweppenhausen . From the mid-1920s, this relationship was reversed when members of the Schweppenhausen and Dörrebach communities began to visit the synagogue in Seibersbach. A fire in 1913 initially completely destroyed the synagogue, but in 1914 it was rebuilt by the community on the old foundations.

The synagogue was the focus of Jewish community life from the 1850s until it was desecrated and destroyed by SA men in the course of the November pogroms in 1938 ; the religious writings that were kept there were burned in the forecourt of the synagogue. The few Jewish residents still living in Seibersbach were deported in July 1942. The central database of Yad Vashem lists 17 Jewish victims of the Shoah who either came from Seibersbach or who lived there.

The building itself passed into private hands shortly afterwards and was used as a gym and dance hall in Seibersbach in the post-war period. After that, the former synagogue building was used for a longer period by the Grünewald bakery, which set up a branch from there in the 1970s.
