Alte Synagoge, Moorish Revival synagogue in Heilbronn, Germany.

The Alte Synagoge features double towers, domes influenced by Indian and Persian architecture, and Gothic window tracery built with local sandstone materials.

Constructed between 1873 and 1877 under architect Adolf Wolff's direction, the synagogue operated until its destruction during the events of Kristallnacht in 1938.

The synagogue incorporated an organ built by Johann Heinrich Schäfer, reflecting the integration of musical elements in German Jewish religious services.

A memorial stone now marks the former location of the synagogue at coordinates 49.14 latitude and 9.22181 longitude in central Heilbronn.

The building's architectural design merged Middle Eastern influences with German construction techniques, creating a distinct example of Neo-Orientalism in religious architecture.
