Religion

Jewish community

In the 19th century there was a small Jewish community in Dalheim. In 1861 the Jewish population peaked at 30. A synagogue was first mentioned in 1847. It was defiled by unknown perpetrators in July 1890 and is believed to have closed shortly thereafter. Most of the Jews had by then already been drawn to the cities or had emigrated. A small Jewish graveyard consecrated in the summer of 1858 and still preserved today is now the only witness to the municipality’s Jewish history
