History
The village was founded at the 17th century when the owners families of the grounds - of Steinkallenfels (1648-1692) and Fouquerolles (1706-1756) - rented with owners. The establishment of a glassmaking close to the village close to Tieffenbach could contribute to populate it. The family of Fouqueroles being religieusement tolerant, all the confessions were accepted. A census carried out in 1756 indicates that there existed in Struth 7 families Lutherans, 8 reformed families catholic, 19 families, 3 Jewish families anabaptists and 7 families. One century later, in 1868, one counted 161 Jews, 88 catholics, 110 reformed and 100 Lutherans. The anabaptists had emigrated with the the United States. A Synagog was built in 1836, as well as a school Jew with a mikve (ritual bath) in basement in 1862.
