history

At the beginning of 1819 the Jewish community in Esslingen acquired a two-story half - timbered house in Heppächer, the former guild house of the tailors, which was converted into a Jewish community center with a synagogue, classroom and prayer apartment by September 1819. The house was renovated in 1889/90, with the prayer room on the first floor receiving new furnishings and seating. The synagogue was desecrated during the Reichspogromnacht in 1938 .

Since March 2012 the building has been used as a synagogue again. The Jewish community is looked after by Rabbi Yehuda Pushkin.
