The synagogue in Klingenmünster was established in Bachgasse (today Steinstrasse 3) after 1843. It was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century and sold around 1920. It was demolished in 1946.
synagogue
A prayer room was already in place before 1843. The exact time when the synagogue was built is not known. At the end of 1843 the Jewish community carried out a collection for the construction of the synagogue. The Augsburg district rabbinate also collected and was able to contribute four guilders and four cruisers. It can be assumed that the construction of the synagogue was carried out shortly after the collection. The synagogue was a simple stone building with a gable roof. A stone staircase led to the entrance portal. To the left and right of the entrance there were two rectangular windows each. The synagogue was probably given up at the beginning of the 20th century due to the sharp decline in membership of the Jewish community and sold around 1920. In 1945 the building was badly damaged by grenades and then demolished in 1946.
Klingenmünster Jewish Community
Jews lived in Klingenmünster as early as the 14th century. The number of members of the Jewish community increased until the middle of the 19th century and has steadily decreased since then. At the beginning of the 20th century the community was dissolved and incorporated into the Jewish community of Ingenheim . In addition to the synagogue, the community had a mikveh and a religious school. The dead were buried first in the Jewish cemetery in Annweiler and, from the 18th century, then in the Jewish cemetery in Ingenheim . In October 1940 the last remaining Jewish residents were deported to the French internment camp Gurs as part of the so-called Wagner-Bürckel campaign .
