Guided Story

In front of you stands an obelisk that commemorates the synagogue once located here, between König-Karl- and Waiblinger Straße. Destroyed during the pogrom night of 1938, this memorial was created by Herbert Gebauer in 1961 to honor the Jewish community of Cannstatt. Take a moment to read the inscription, which pays tribute to the loss and fate of the Jewish citizens whose house of worship no longer stands. This monument serves as a silent witness to history, a reminder to reflect on this dark chapter.
