Yom Kippur “Ktiva ve-hatima tova – Blessing on Litho PC from Jacob Bermann, Reichenhall with view of the family restaurant, early 20th cen. - Yom Kippur “Ktiva ve-hatima tova – Blessing in Hebrew on Litho PC from Jacob Bermann, Reichenhall with view of the family restaurant in Reichenhall, early 20th cen. PC sent to Hermann Steiner, the Owner of a Publishing House and a Large Antiquarian Bookstore in Pressburg (Bratislava) Condition: staining, cracks, stamp is missing. At 19/20. In the 19th century in Reichenhall were also only a few permanent Jewish residents, although since the middle of the 19th century a fairly large number of Jewish spa guests came to Bad Reichenhall every year. We have been hearing about facilities for Jewish spa guests since the 1860s: since 1866, Salomon Kutz from Nördlingen ran a kosher restaurant on site during the summer season (see advertisement below). The following year, 1867, Kutz reported about 100 Jewish guests to his restaurant every day during the season. Its restoration continued at the beginning of the 20th century under the owner J. Auer (see advertisement from 1904 below). A few years later, the Bermann kosher restaurant was added (Simon Bermann, who was born in Reichenhall in 1893, died after the deportation; see advertisement for the restaurant by J. Bermann in 1904 below). Soon there were Jewish spa guests who spent their annual recuperation in Bad Reichenhall for a long time, such as Moritz Feuchtwanger, the chairman of the Chewra Kadischa charity association in Munich, who stayed in Bad Reichenhall annually for over 35 years starting in 1876. Around 1930 there were two kosher restaurants, Bermann and Brandeis. A report emphasizes that there is no anti-Semitism in Bad Reichenhall, perhaps an after-effect of Alfred Nathan's achievements. Services were held regularly in the two restorations during the season. Both had set up a synagogue, so that there was talk of two Jewish ”Restoration communities” in Bad Reichenhall (see article from 1931 below).
