synagogue

The synagogue building stood at Brückenstraße 34 and was about 10 meters long and about 7 meters wide. There were arched windows in the facade . The roof was a simple gable roof . As early as 1933, the synagogue was rarely used. In 1936, one year after the referendum in 1935 and the associated annexation of the Saar area to the German Reich , the synagogue is described as abandoned. After it had been used as a warehouse from around 1937, it was converted into a two-story residential building in 1950. In 1986 the building was demolished.

Jewish community of Rehlingen

As early as 1721 a Jewish family had the right to settle in Rehlingen. Between the middle of the 19th century and 1913 the Jewish community also included residents of the Jewish faith in Beckingen , Büren, Fremersdorf and Itzbach. From 1913 the Jews living in Siersburg also belonged to the Rehlingen Jewish community. Fremersdorf was no longer part of it at that time. Due to the small number of members, the community was denied the status of a public corporation. Until it was dissolved, it was organized as an association under private law. For a time, the community maintained a religious school, the teacher of which also served as prayer and shochet . The dead were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Dillingen as there was no separate cemetery . From 1933 onwards there was an emigration. In 1935, the year the annexation to the German Reich, only 14 members of the Jewish community were counted.
