Synagogue of Kaiserslautern

The synagogue building features traditional architectural elements designed by Ludwig Levy, reflecting Jewish religious requirements and regional German influences.

The original synagogue, constructed in 1938, stood as a central gathering point for the local Jewish community until it faced destruction during wartime events.

The synagogue serves as both a religious center and a memorial site, with its location renamed to Synagogenplatz in 1980 to honor Jewish heritage.

Visitors interested in accessing the synagogue should contact the local Jewish community office in advance to arrange tours and confirm opening hours.

The site includes a memorial plaque installed in 1980 and a commemorative monument added in 2003, marking the location of the former synagogue structure.
