Facts and practical information

The synagogue of Ingwiller, which dates from 1822 for its oldest part and which was enlarged in 1891, is built on the foundations of a castle of the counts of Lichtenberg, which can be seen on the general view on the right. It no longer holds regular religious services. The copper bulb in oriental style dates from 1913.

The Jewish population of Ingwiller reached 399 people in the 1861 census, but today it is reduced to a few people. It must still have been relatively large at the time of the First World War, since the painter Charles Spindler wrote in his diary on September 4, 1918: "The population is largely composed of Jewish merchants. Despite the early hour, they are already sitting in front of their houses, on the benches, yawning at passers-by. The presence of a garrison must favor business."
