New synagogue Mainz

The synagogue features green glazed ceramic profiles on its exterior and contains a main prayer hall that accommodates 450 worshippers.

Built in 2010, this synagogue stands on the location of the former main synagogue that was destroyed during the November 1938 pogrom.

The building's design incorporates the Hebrew word 'Kedushah' meaning sanctification blessing, with its five letters determining the structure's form.

The facility includes a festival room, kosher kitchen, kindergarten, library, community office, and social services for the Jewish community.

The eastward-directed, horn-shaped roof of the assembly area represents a shofar, the traditional instrument used for prayer gatherings.
