Regarding the Jewish families in Huenfeld: Up to the end of the 19th century and
beyond a flourishing Jewish life had developed in the Huenfeld area. The stores of
Jewish merchants, which had been established in small towns with more or less Jewish
residents, however, in large numbers in Huenfeld represented Jewish life at its best.
