Wolfsberg

The first mention of Jews living in Wolfsberg appers in an official source from 1311. Jews were assured of their privileges granted by the Bishop of Bamberg, the sovereign of Wolfsberg. In 1338 there were persecutions following the desecration of the host accusation of in which about 70 Jews died. In 1346 Lesir of St. Leonhard was permitted to settle in Wolfsberg. In 1348-1349 there were anti_jewish persecutions in the wake of the plague. Some Jews returned to Wolfsberg for a short time. In 1360, and in again 1366, the Jew Troestlein is mentioned as living in Wolfsberg; he later moved to Villach.
