100+ synagogen in deutschland
Jews have been living in what is now Germany since the 4th century. Over the centuries, growing Jewish communities established synagogues—places of worship built to honor their Creator. These structures are often architecturally magnificent and unique. While some synagogues survived the war, many Jewish communities did not. After 1945, most synagogues that no longer had an active Jewish community were either sold or demolished.
“100+ Synagogues in Germany” proudly showcases the current state of German synagogue culture. This collection features preserved Jewish houses of worship that have stood for over a thousand years, those that have been repurposed to reflect Jewish heritage, and new synagogues built by revitalized communities.
