 There was a small Jewish community in the village in 1808, consisting of ten families and all together 56 persons.It likely formed in the 18th century under the comparatively liberal residency requirements that were then customary in smaller lordships.Particularly worthy of mention is the family Grünebaum, from whose midst arose the scholar Dr. Elias Grünebaum, who for many years was the Regional Palatine Rabbi (1836-1893).
