The former Jewish community in Frei-Laubersheim was always quite small and was considered an offshoot of the Jewish community in neighbouring Fürfeld , where the synagogue , which was desecrated and vandalized on Kristallnacht ( 9 – 10 November 1938 ) , and the religious school could be found . More about the community as a whole can be found in the relevant section in the Fürfeld article . In Frei-Laubersheim , 21 Jews were counted in 1830 , 25 in 1861 , 18 in 1905 , 16 in 1924 and in 1932 , on the eve of the Third Reich , there were 11 , all of whom subsequently moved away or emigrated in the face of antisemitic laws that stripped Jews of their rights , the economic boycott and other repressive measures . According to writer Arnsberg , two of the Jews from Frei-Laubersheim emigrated to the United Kingdom , three went to the United States , five went to Worms and one went to Frankfurt . 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 Frei-Laubersheim or lived there for a long time , 7 died in the time of the Third Reich ( birthdates in brackets ) : The village 's name is typical of those of Frankish origin . It is interpreted as meaning “ Liubrit ’s Home ” or “ Liubher ’s Home ” . Over time , the old form '' Liubherisheim '' mutated into today 's Laubersheim . The distinctive prefix “ Frei - ” was quite likely only added in 1261 on the occasion of the bestowing of church patronage rights on Tholey Abbey by the Chancellery of the Archbishop of Mainz , Werner . The popular prefix , “ Cappes - ” ( meaning “ cabbage ” , nowadays usually spelt with a K ) only cropped up in the 15th century , and since then has often been used in writing . Even today , the village is often called Cappes-Laubersheim . Apparently , cabbage-growing was once of great importance in Frei-Laubersheim
