Guided Story
Feel that gentle breeze as you stand before the synagogue? Look at the sharp lines of the facade – a testament to Alfred Jacoby's skill in playing with light and shadow. Behind you, to the west, you'll find St. Bonifatius Church, a stark contrast to the modern elegance you see here. This synagogue is more than just a place of worship; it's a beacon of renewal. After the original synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938, this building stands as a testament to rebuilding and hope. Look up, and you'll see how the light dances off the windows, bathing the room in a serene, almost meditative glow. Being here feels like stepping into a tranquil oasis of history and faith.
