Synagoge Beit Tikwa

In front of you stands the Beit Tikwa Synagogue, a striking example of modern architecture with its clear and open design. This synagogue, once known as the Paul-Gerhardt-Kirche, tells the long history of Bielefeld's Jewish community. Its roots trace back to the 14th century, and it has been an integral part of the city since 1705. As part of the Union of Progressive Jews in Germany, it embodies openness and progress, reflected in its liberal denomination. As you stand here, you might sense the nearby Gottschalk family memorials to the southeast, reminding us of the rich Jewish history and cultural heritage of this area.
