Hesse state funding for Jewish communities

Overview

The state government of Hesse has extended a state treaty with the Association of Jewish Communities in Hesse for an additional five years. Under this agreement, financial support for Jewish communities will be gradually doubled from four million euros to eight million euros by 2031. When including other state subsidies, total funding is projected to reach 11.4 million euros by 2031.

The treaty also renews security provisions between the state, the association, and the Jewish community in Frankfurt, covering costs for security personnel and video surveillance systems. Hessian Prime Minister Boris Rhein characterized the extension as a “clear sign to strengthen and protect Jewish life in Hesse,” noting that the measures follow a reported 4.8 percent increase in antisemitic crimes in 2025.
