Old Synagogue

The Old Synagogue is a building in Dortmund that emerged in the early 1900s and blends German and Jewish architectural elements. The interior shows detailed craftsmanship and was designed for the community's religious ceremonies and gatherings.

The building emerged around 1900 when the Jewish population in the Ruhr region was growing and wanted to establish places of worship. This period was shaped by economic expansion, during which many new communities took root.

The place tells the story of a Jewish community that put down roots in Dortmund and wanted to preserve its identity. Visitors can still sense today how this space invited generations of people to prayer, celebration, and gathering.

The building is located near the city center and is accessible through guided tours that show the architecture and history. It is advisable to gather information about the exact location and opening times beforehand.

The building survived difficult times and was later restored, making it a symbol of resilience. Today the spaces show through their preserved features how religious life once took place here.
