"In 1835, Rehburg’s Jewish community built a synagogue and mikveh at 43 Muehlentor...The synagogue, which had been destroyed in a neighborhood fire, was renovated and reopened in 1934.... The synagogue was damaged on Pogrom Night, and its contents were burned on the street...The synagogue building was sold in April 1939... The former synagogue is now an apartment building."
