The former synagogue in Wachbach , a district of Bad Mergentheim in the Main-Tauber district in Baden-Württemberg , was built in 1822 or 1827 and was used by the Jewish community of Wachbach until the end of the 19th century .

history

At the time of the 18th century, some Jewish families lived in a "Jewish house" that belonged to the rulers. In the year 1822 or 1827 a synagogue was built. The synagogue building consisted of a classroom (ground floor), a teacher's apartment (1st floor) and a ritual bath (basement). The school was closed in 1863 due to the lack of students. In 1902 the synagogue building was converted into a farmhouse. The synagogue was supposed to be rebuilt in 1985, and the state monument office in Stuttgart had the final word. There was not enough money to renovate the synagogue, and no one agreed to invest in the synagogue. Applications have been made to demolish the building as someone is believed to have wanted to buy the property. Its purely structural substance and type of construction are not outstanding and are therefore not subject to monument protection and can therefore be used for other purposes and converted.

location

The house was most likely on today's Ritterplatz in front of the Scheidel house (building not preserved). The synagogue was built at Schlosstrasse 44 ( ⊙ ).
