A first synagogue dated from the beginning of the 18th century and the second from 1866. This one, disused, was acquired by the village in 1981 as a cultural center. [January 2008]

Le Cimetière Juif: chemin du Moulin, 67390 Mackenheim. Tél: 03 88 58 26 26. This cemetery since 1608 is situated in the heart of the Rhenane forest (currently awaiting classification as a landmark). Seemingly, the original members of the Jewish community of Biesheim are buried in Mackenheim. In 1775, Judenschultheiss and Alexander Weil, Schürmverwandter Jude in Grossenbiessen, bought from the village of Mackenheim ground intended to enlarge their burying ground that already existed in 1608.  http://grandried.fr/226002175.html has photos.
