Platz der Alten Synagoge, Memorial plaza in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The square features a water fountain that traces the foundation plan of the former synagogue, surrounded by university buildings and the city theater.
Originally built between 1869 and 1870, the synagogue at this location was destroyed during the November 1938 pogrom, marking a dark period in German history.
The plaza serves as both a memorial site and a central gathering space, where annual commemorative ceremonies take place on November 9th.
Located at coordinates 47.994597, 7.846, the square measures 130 by 130 meters and connects to major transportation routes through Freiburg.
Archaeological excavations in 2016 revealed original synagogue foundation remains, which influenced the current memorial fountain design.
