Judengasse, Salzburg
Facts and practical information
Judengasse in the old town of Salzburg stretches from Waagplatz to Getreidegasse. Most of Salzburg's Jews lived there in the Middle Ages until the second expulsion of the Jews in 1404. The synagogue may have been located in the house at Judengasse 15. On the city's oldest town hall on Waagplatz, after the last expulsion of Jews in 1520, a relief plaque was placed showing a mother pig suckling Jewish children. The plaque was popularly called Judensau. It was removed in 1785 by order of Archbishop Hieronymus von Colloredo.
In historical times, the individual houses often had their own names: House no. 1 Wirtshaus zum Türkenkopf, Moserbräuhaus, Egggerbräuhaus, Köllerers Haus, House no. 3 Guglbräu, Haus bei dem Türlein, House no. 5 Fürskalberhaus, House no. 8 Unteres Gruberhaus, Wagnerhaus, House no. 9 Sylbergerhaus, House No. 10 Billichhaus, House No. 12 Haus an der Porten, House No. 13 Schwabengruebersche Behausung mit Mühle, House No. 15 Laubingerhaus, later from 1656 Höllbräu
