The synagogue in Grünsfeld was first mentioned in a document in 1502 as a “stone house”.

history

Around 1800 a prayer room was used for the second time, which had to be urgently repaired in 1852, as numerous parts of the plaster had fallen off even during the church services. Since the synagogue did not belong to the Jewish community in Grünsfeld at all , but was owned by Hirsch Sichel, Sedel Rosenbusch and Mayer Sichel's widow, the Jewish private individuals, it was not renewed. Since there were numerous other problems, such as the fact that the owners always secured the best seats, a community meeting took place on April 16, 1859, at which the seats were allocated fairly. The income generated each year by the squares was to be used to repair or change the synagogue.

At the end of the 1880s, the synagogue had to be repaired again because there were many life-threatening areas in the entrance area. In addition, there was no drain in the women's pool, so you had to skim the water yourself. At that time, the community belonged to Nathan Rosenbusch, Jakob Sichel and Josef Sichel's widow. In 1890 it was agreed that the community would have to pay for the repair of the roof. In 1891 the non-Jewish master bottle maker Heinrich Huband bought the building, but without the prayer room and the ritual bath.

In 1893 a direct staircase to the prayer room was laid out. By breaking through the wall facing the street, it was found that the building was rotten and worm-sighted. After the district building inspector did not enter the community, the construction work was carried out in 1893, so that the church services could again be celebrated. On March 7, 1938, the Grünsfeld Jewish community was dissolved.

The address of the prayer room was:

  • until 1931 Rieneckstraße 4 ( ⊙ )
  • 1932 to 1938 Stairway Lane 1 ( ⊙ )
