Langenlonsheim had a Jewish community until sometime between 1938 and 1942 . It arose sometime in the 17th or 18th century . The earliest mention of a Jewish family in the village – named Benedict – comes from 1685 . In 1695 a Wendel Judt was named . In 1722 , two Jewish families were named ( Jud Benedict and Mayer ) , while in 1743 it was four ( Hayum Benedict , Götz Benedict , Juda Kahn and Meyer ) . In 1790 , the following Jewish household heads were named : Hayum Benedict ( widow ) , Joseph Benedict , Nadan Benedict Maier , Gottschlag Jude , Benedict Joseph , Sükkind Juda , David Götz and Benedict Nadan . In the 19th century , the number of Jewish inhabitants developed as follows : in 1808 there were 45 ; in 1843 , there were 42 ( of all together 1,236 inhabitants ) ; in 1858 , 73 ; in 1895 , 70 . In 1808 , the following Jewish families were listed ( the names given in brackets were those borne after Napoleonic French rule ended ) : Israel Brill , Benoît ( Benedict ) Goetz , Gottschalk Kahn , Widow ( ? ) Rebekka Kuhn , Widow ( of Joseph Kaufmann ) Schoene Kaufmann '' née '' Kuhn , Benoît ( Benedict ) Natt , Mayer Natt , Jacques ( Jakob ) Scheier ( Scheuer ) , Moses Schweiss ( Schweig ) , Widow Judith Stern , Seeligmann Stern . In the way of institutions , there were a synagogue ( see '' ' Synagogue ' '' below ) , a Jewish school ( a schoolroom at the synagogue ) , a mikveh and a graveyard ( see '' ' Jewish graveyard ' '' below ) . To provide for the community 's religious needs , a schoolteacher was hired , who also busied himself as the hazzan and the shochet ( preserved is a whole series of job advertisements for such a position in Langenlonsheim from such publications as '' Der Israelit '' ) . Among the religion teachers were , about 1855 David Cahn from Mertloch , in 1857 Heinrich Hirschfeld from Dessau , in 1861 Julius Kappel ( or Koppel ) and in 1893 Michael Boreich . The Jewish household heads were active in various occupations , foremost in trading . There were several businesses and shops in Langenlonsheim belonging to Jewish families ( businesses with domestic products and fertilizer , several wine dealer 's shops , men 's and women 's clothing and bedding shops as well as livestock and grain dealerships ) . There were also Jewish bakers and butchers . The Jewish inhabitants were fully integrated into village life and played a lively part in public life and in the village 's clubs , even as club founders and chairmen : Heinrich Natt and Siegmund Hirschberger were founding members in 1887 of the '' Verein für Leibesübungen 1887 Langenlonsheim e.V. '' ( a club for physical exercise ) , while Siegmund Heymann , Siegmund Hirschberger , Carl Mayer and Emil Natt were , among other such endeavours , founding members in 1902 of the Langenlonsheim volunteer fire brigade . Two members of Langenlonsheim 's Jewish community fell in the First World War , '' Unteroffizier '' Sally Natt ( b. 7 July 1889 in Langenlonsheim , d. 26 September 1914 ) and '' Gefreiter '' Arthur Metzger ( b. 6 November 1883 in Langenlonsheim , d. May 1915 ) . Both names appear on the monument to the fallen in the First World War that stands before the general graveyard . All together , fourteen Jewish men were in wartime service ; several came back highly decorated . About 1924 , when there were still some 50 persons in the Jewish community ( 2.5 % of the total population of some 2,000 inhabitants ) , the community leaders were Ludwig Mayer and Fritz Natt . Then living in each of Bretzenheim and Laubenheim were seven Jews . In 1932 , the community leader was Carl Mayer . Tending the community 's religious needs was Rabbi Dr. Jacob ( Bad Kreuznach ) . About 1930 , the following families were living in Langenlonsheim : Karl Mayer ( wine dealer , Bingerstraße 2 ) , Rudolf Mayer ( men 's and women 's clothing , bedding and manufactured goods , Bingerstraße 11 ) , Ludwig Mayer ( livestock dealer , Hauptstraße 52 ) , Fritz Natt ( wine dealer , Hollergasse 28/corner of Weidenstraße ) , Moritz Weiss ( butcher and livestock and wine dealer , Hauptstraße 24 ) , Siegmund Heymann ( domestic products , Hauptstraße 39 ) , Carl Nachmann ( wine and grain dealer , Hauptstraße 35 ) , August Weiss ( livestock dealer , Schulstraße 12 ) , Gustav Kahn ( plumber , Hollergasse 20 ) and the Family Blank ( religion teacher , Kreuznacher Straße ) . After 1933 ( Langenlonsheim 's Jewish population that year was 40 ) , the year when Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seized power , though , some of the Jews moved away or even emigrated in the face of the boycotting of their businesses , the progressive stripping of their rights and repression , all brought about by the Nazis . In the 1939 Bad Kreuznach book of inhabitants ( presumably presenting 1938 figures ) , five Jewish families are still listed : Karl Mayer , Rudolf Mayer , Fritz Natt , August Weiss and Moritz Weiss . On Kristallnacht ( 9 – 10 November 1938 ) , the synagogue was utterly demolished by Nazi brigands from within Langenlonsheim and without . The families of Fritz Natt , Karl Mayer , Karl Nachmann and Moritz Weiss had their houses invaded and destroyed as living spaces . Several Jews were mishandled and more than slightly injured . The Jewish men were taken away to Dachau concentration camp . After the first deportation on 10 April 1942 , Langenlonsheim 's last two Jewish inhabitants , August Weiss and his wife Isabella Weiss '' née '' Furchheimer , were deported on 25 April 1942 . According to the '' Gedenkbuch – Opfer der Verfolgung der Juden unter der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft in Deutschland 1933-1945 '' ( " Memorial Book – Victims of the Persecution of the Jews under National Socialist Tyranny " ) and Yad Vashem , of all Jews who either were born in Langenlonsheim or lived there for a long time , 50 died in the time of the Third Reich ( birthdates in brackets ) : On 1 September 2011 , Gunter Demnig came to Langenlonsheim and laid 12 of his '' Stolpersteine '' in memory of Jews from Langenlonsheim who were murdered in the Holocaust
