Olaf Przybilla, Ermreuth
Rajaa Nadler has lived in Germany for 40 years, in the Forchheim district for 37 years. Anyone who asks people in the area about the Ermreuth synagogue, a well-attended meeting place, will hear that it is not least a “child of Rajaa Nadler”. The orientalist, who has a doctorate, laughs when confronted with it, but she wouldn’t contradict it; For 32 years she has made sure that the house shines again. She says that Ermreuth was well on the way to a completely different public perception. In the 1970s, Ermreuth was known almost exclusively as the historic center of the “Hoffmann military sports group”, which was banned in 1980 – Ermreuth, with its almost 900 inhabitants, is now considered a Franconian spot with an international cultural program in a synagogue. You were almost on your way to the showcase village.
