Schnaittach (German pronunciation: [ˈʃnaɪtax]) is a market town in Middle Franconia, Bavaria, Germany.

Geography

[edit | edit source]

Schnaittach is on the river Schnaittach, a tributary of the Pegnitz.

History

[edit | edit source]

Schnaittach was first mentioned in 1011. Until 1806 the Christian population of Schnaittach was Catholic, in contrast to the surrounding areas. Schnaittach has had a large Jewish community since the 15th century. Today, the building complex of the synagogue houses a branch of the Jewish Museum of Franconia (the main museum is in Fürth).
