New Synagogue Berlin, Synagogue in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
The New Synagogue features a central golden dome rising 50 meters high, with a facade combining Moorish architectural elements and intricate geometric patterns.
Constructed between 1859 and 1866 under architect Eduard Knoblauch, the synagogue served over 3,000 worshippers as Berlin's largest Jewish religious building.
The Centrum Judaicum within the synagogue presents exhibitions about Jewish life in Berlin, maintaining archives and organizing educational programs about German-Jewish heritage.
Visitors can access guided tours of the building, explore the permanent exhibition, and climb to the dome gallery for views across Berlin-Mitte.
In 1877, the New Synagogue became the first public building in Berlin to install electric lighting, marking a technological advancement in the city.
