history

A Jewish prayer room was first mentioned in 1850. In 1863 a synagogue was mentioned for the first time. In addition to the members of the Jewish community of Hemmersdorf, this was also used by the Jewish residents of Niedaltdorf and Biringen . In 1892 the synagogue had become too small and was in a poor structural condition. This led to the decision to build a new synagogue. It was a two-story building that also contained apartments. The synagogue was given up before the referendum in 1935 and the associated annexation of the Saar region to the German Reich . Since it was in the Red Zone , it was demolished along with other buildings in the course of the evacuation in 1939/40 .
