Synagogue (Kleinheubach)
The synagogue in Kleinheubach , a market in the Lower Franconian district of Miltenberg ( Bavaria ), was built in 1808. The secular synagogue at Gartenstrasse 9 (formerly Judengasse) is a protected monument .
history
The first synagogue is said to have been built in 1728. The new synagogue was probably built on the same site in 1808. A major renovation was carried out in the 1890s.
During the November pogrom in 1938 , the synagogue's interior furnishings, including the rituals, were destroyed. The building came into private ownership and was used as a storage room for a long time. A notice board recalls the history of the building.
inscription
The two-storey hipped roof building with corner pilasters has a Hebrew portal inscription which translates as: “This is the gate to the Lord, righteous people enter through it” ( Psalm 118 : 20). At the capstone the year (5) 568 = 1807/08 is attached.
