In the Middle Ages – living shoulder to shoulder

In the Middle Ages the Jews lived within the town wall, but on the periphery. Their houses were along a narrow lane which ended at the wall. A “Jewish churchyard” is also mentioned in the records. Reminders of the Jewish population did not disappear with their expulsion in 1499. For example the designations Upper and Lower Jews house (Hauptstraße 54 and 56) remained in use.
