Illingen Synagogue
"The community consecrated...a new synagogue, with a schoolroom and an apartment for the teacher, in 1859 (at 11 Hauptstrasse)...On Pogrom Night... the synagogue was looted and burned down...The municipality eventually purchased the synagogue...The remains of the entrance to the synagogue—the site was cleared in 1949—were transferred to the cemetery."
