the destroyed community
The community of Judenburg, in Styria, was destroyed during the Black Death.
The name of the town, which means "the castle of the Jews," is attested long before these events and bears witness to the antiquity of Judaism in the upper Mur valley; it survived as a toponym after the community had disappeared.
