Guided Story

Imagine standing here with the gentle flow of the Elbe behind you. The sleek, modern structure before you is more than just a building; it's a symbol of resilience and renewal. Look up and take in the simple elegance of its facade. This synagogue stands where the old synagogue once did, destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938. The architecture is a reminder of that past, while also offering hope for the future. To your right is the Brühl Terrace, often called the 'Balcony of Europe.' This synagogue and its surroundings speak of a city that remembers its history and transforms it into something new.
