In Růžová (today Jaroslavova) street, the Jews also built their own spa - a ritual "bath", because they were not allowed to use the city spa. . the canal was bridged and closed in 1809.) When the Jewish baths were built, we do not know, a note about their existence appears only once, in the purchase contract from 1576, concerning the house in Růžová street No. 13: „.. . (house) with a place where Jews had their baths .. ". Bathing water was taken either from the town spring in the street on the corner of Obertorgasse 11 (U Horní brány) or from the "water", if it was not polluted on the upper stream, the drainage channel from the Jewish spa led between the houses of Vodní street no. 14 and 16. Lázně he established on his land, at the mercy of the nobility, “the Jew Žalman also called David Žalman Jew ”. He also had them under his direction, and therefore he paid a kind of trade tax to the lords every year. The obligation to pay the spa fee of 28 tailors a year was tied to the houses of Žalman the Jew (Vodní no. 10 and 12.) However, the departure of the Jews and the liquidation of their spas did not end the obligation to pay that fee, the payment is recorded in 1802-1824. On the map of the stable cadastre from 1834, these houses are marked with numbers 125 and 126, they correspond to today's (of course rebuilt) houses with descriptive numbers 132 and 133. In the 16th century, these houses formed one house. In 1574, the smaller, northern part of the house without a garden, a Jew Žalman wrote to his daughter Cyprli, married to Grygar Viktorin, a teacher at a local Jewish school. He sold a larger part in 1576 to Pavel Goldmann, a Jew. According to K. Morava, the spa was probably a more northern house. According to land registers, both houses were still an organic part of the town, but from 1627-56 they were damaged and deserted. After the expulsion of the Jews from the city, both houses, structurally marked as spas, were bought by the nobility. Růžová street (today Jaroslavova) was still listed as Jewish in 1585-1707. Jews also lived in today's Pekařská street (entries in the house purchase contracts of 1588, 1589, 1596, 1601 and 1615). It was also called Jewish, in the years 1679-1704 Gassl, in the years 1779-91 "bei dem neuen Pförtl", Pförtelgasse = At ​​the small gate, and only after the demolition of the fort from the turn of the 30s and 40s of the 18th century received from 1787 name Bäckergasse = Bakery.
