Westend-Synagoge, Art Nouveau synagogue in Westend, Frankfurt, Germany

The central building features a prominent dome and incorporates Egyptian-Assyrian architectural elements, constructed with shell limestone exterior walls and decorative details.

The synagogue survived both the 1938 November pogrom and World War II bombings, leading to reconstruction efforts from 1948 to 1950 by architects Max Kemper and Werner Hebebrand.

The main sanctuary contains the Almemar platform, Torah ark, and worship leader podium, with blue and gold ornamental details throughout the interior spaces.

Located at Freiherr-vom-Stein-Straße 30-32, the synagogue includes offices, apartments, a liberal services area, and a prayer room used for Talmud studies.

A medallion adorns the gable displaying a heraldic lion holding a shield with the Star of David, symbolizing the Jewish heritage of Frankfurt.
