The tour of Europe's only gemstone mine was very interesting. Even the dogs were allowed along.

The church was deconsecrated in 2020. Since then, the church space has been permanently used by the Regenbogen daycare center 👍

At the beginning of the 1930s, there were still about 45 Jewish families living in Idar-Oberstein. That was about 130 - 150 people. Many of them emigrated to the USA. Nevertheless, 65 Jewish people from Idar-Oberstein were deported to extermination camps during the war, where they were killed.
