Adelsheim (German pronunciation: [ˈaːdəlshaɪm] ⓘ; South Franconian: Alleze) is a town in northern Baden-Württemberg, about 30 km north of Heilbronn.

Farther downstream, the Seckach flows by Möckmühl into the Jagst, thence into the Neckar, and thence into the Rhine.

The Adelsheim area is part of the greater geographical region known as the Bauland, a mountain range stretching from the Odenwald in the northwest to the Jagst valley in the south as well as to the Tauber valley in the east.

The Sennfeld Schloss (stately home), formerly owned by kin of the Barons of Berlichingen, was built in 1713 in a countrified Baroque style.

In the Middle Ages, the landlords relinquished the property to the farmers who lived there at the time.

In 1374, Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor raised Adelsheim to town.

The Reichsritters von Adelsheim were eventually elevated to the rank of Freiherr (Barons of the Holy Roman Empire).

In 1338, Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor had allowed the brothers Poppo and Berlinger von Adelsheim to "keep" four Jewish families in their lands.

Under an ordinance from 1690, the Jewish community yearly had to pay the Barons of Adelsheim four gulden for "school", that is to say, to be allowed to hold their religious services.

The prayer room used at that time, according to oral tradition, was set up on the second floor of the house built by Melchior Keller in 1418 in the Torgasse ("Gate Lane").

Later, there was a prayer room in a likewise no longer standing building in the yard of the Oberschloss.
