Karlsruhe Synagogue, Modern synagogue in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Karlsruhe Synagogue features a hexagonal structure incorporating Star of David elements throughout its architectural design, combining modern lines with religious symbolism.
The original 1798 synagogue, designed by Friedrich Weinbrenner in Egyptian Revival style, was destroyed in 1871, rebuilt in 1875, and later demolished during Kristallnacht in 1938.
The synagogue functions as an educational center where visitors learn about Jewish traditions through regular programs, exhibitions, and community gatherings.
The synagogue maintains regular prayer services following Nusach Ashkenaz traditions and provides guided tours with advance reservations through the Jewish community office.
The building represents one of the earliest examples of Egyptian Revival architecture in religious structures, featuring tall pylons inspired by the temple at Karnak.
