Nuremberg

Bavaria (Germany)

Nuremberg, a city in Franconia (Bavaria), southern Germany, had an important medieval Jewish community. Rabbi Mordechai ben Hillel HaKohen, author of the halachic work known as the Mordechai, was killed in Nuremberg during the Rintfleisch massacre of 1298; later the city was associated with the fifteenth-century authority Rabbi Yaakov Weil (the Mahari Weil).
