the community destroyed

The community of Reutlingen was destroyed during the Black Death.

The Swabian imperial city appears in the lists of communities annihilated that year between the Neckar and the Danube.

The community, small, lived from lending to the tanners and peasants of the Alb; it did not reconstitute itself, and the city admitted no Jews as permanent residents before the nineteenth century.
