Fraenkelufer Synagogue

conservative

The Jewish community’s master builder, Alexander Beer, erected this neo-classical structure between 1913 and 1916. The 2,000-seat structure originally housed an orthodox congregation. Medieval and baroque stylistic elements adorned the building. The magnificent structure also housed several residential apartments as well as two smaller sanctuaries – one for weekday services and another one for youth services. Nazi mobs destroyed the building during the pogrom of November 9 1938. The youth synagogue is all that remains of the once imposing structure. Today, the synagogue houses a conservative congregation. In 1989, a memorial plaque by Cornelia Lengfeld was dedicated in 1989 and amended in 1995.
