history
In the Middle Ages, probably a synagogue in Pappenheim said to have been present. A Marienkapelle is said to have been built on their property and the Evangelical-Lutheran parish church, completed in 1476, may be on the same site.
The synagogue, built in 1811, was used as a place of worship until the early 1930s. After the dissolution of the Jewish community in 1935, the rituals were given to the Jewish community in Treuchtlingen, where they were destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 . The synagogue building in Pappenheim was sold to the city in 1937.
In 1954 the former synagogue was converted into a fire station .
