Veit Flehinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Veit Flehinger ( July 12, 1769 in Flehingen - December 25, 1854 in Bretten , Kurpfalz ) was a German district rabbi in Baden .

Veit Flehinger was the son of Rabbi Isak Flehinger and his wife Kela. He completed a Talmudic course in Mainz and Mannheim and was then ordained by the regional rabbi Tia Weil . Until 1807 he remained a privateer ( silent partner ), because he had sufficient assets, and was district elder of the Jewish residents in the district of Bretten . From 1807 he was unofficially and from December 1821 officially employed as a rabbi in Bretten. With the introduction of the district rabbinate in Baden in 1827 he became district rabbi for the district rabbinate of Bretten . He held this office until his death in 1854.

He is seen as an opponent of the reform , but tried to find compromises.

Veit Flehinger was the father-in-law of the district rabbis Seligmann Grünwald (Braunsbach, Lehrensteinsfeld and Freudental), Löb Ettlinger (Ladenburg) and Abraham Wälder (Laupheim).

In the death news in the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums it was said, among other things: “On December 28th. J. died the nestor of the Baden rabbis, district rabbi Veit Flehinger in Bretten. With him went to the grave of the last of the Baden rabbis, who, without having completed proper university studies, acted as rabbis in Baden ... "
