The Union progressiver Juden in Deutschland UPJ Union of progressive Judaism Progressive Jews in Germany is a registered association, founded in 1997, that represents liberal Judaism liberal Jewish organisations. It is headed by Sonja Guentner and has around 3,000 members. The publication work of the union began in 1997 with Seder ha Tefillot , the Siddur Jewish prayer book by Jonathan Magonet in cooperation with Walter Homolka , from the Hebrew language Hebrew by Annette M. B ckler . In 1998 a Passover Haggadah was published. From 1999 to 2004 Annette M. B ckler translated W. Gunther Plaut s commentary on the Torah into German. The Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland Central Council of Jews in Germany rejected the association and insisted on a single representative voice for Jewish organisations. In particular this concerned the contract with the government, signed with the Zentralrat on 27 January 2003, and its associated aid money. In April 2004 open hostility broke out between the Zentralrat s president Paul Spiegel and then chairman of the UPJ, Jan M hlstein . M hlstein called for financial equality between the liberal Jewish organisations regarding the distribution of 3 million Euros of state money annually, set by a contract with the government. On 20 November 2005 two Jewish States of Germany State Associations with numerous congregations of the Union were absorbed into the Zentralrat, after the status of a corporate body of public rights was conferred to them.

Documents from the 12th century report the presence of a Jewish quarter and a street called Judengasse Jews alley , an alley near the Salzburger Dom Cathedral that is still called by that name. There is record of a synagogue in the 13th century. By 1492, Jews of Salzburg were publicly burned and Jewish settlers expelled from the city. This ban prevented the development of a Jewish community until well into the 19th century, by then Salzburg had become part of the Austria Hungary Austrian Hungarian Empire . Many central figures of Salzburg s intellectual and cultural life from the late 19th century until Austria s annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 were Jewish or of Jewish origin, such as Stefan Zweig , Max Reinhardt theatre director Max Reinhardt , Theodor Herzl or Carl Zuckmayer .
