Braunsbach Rabbinate
"Between 1832 and 1913, a district rabbinate housing a school and living quarters for the local rabbi was based at 8 Im Rabbinat. Rabbi Menko Berlinger and Dr. Jacob Berlinger, both of the famous Berlinger family, served as rabbis. The rabbinate moved to Schwaebisch-Hall in 1914, but the building continued to function intermittently as a school...The synagogue, mikveh and rabbinate have been preserved to some degree; in fact, Braunsbach is thought to be the only place in Germany where this happened."
