Only the street sign "Synagogue Square" indicates that this was the center of Jewish community life from 1870 to 1938. The area is now a parking lot. However, the Jewish community itself is more than a century and a half older than the synagogue that once stood here: The Jewish cemetery, located a little outside the center - if you are interested, see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6878574 - has been in use since 1711.

The Meckenheiner synagogue stood here until 1938. It was never rebuilt because the synagogue community was wiped out with it.
