New synagogue Mainz, Modern synagogue in Mainz, Germany.
The New Synagogue Mainz is a modern synagogue in Mainz featuring a distinctive green glazed ceramic facade. The building contains a prayer hall for 450 worshippers and includes a festival room, kosher kitchen, kindergarten, library, and community office spaces.
The building was constructed in 2010 on the site of the former main synagogue that was destroyed in 1938. It represents the renewal of Jewish community life at this historically significant location after many decades.
The building incorporates the Hebrew word 'Kedushah', meaning sanctification, into its design concept. The five letters of this word shape the overall form of the structure.
Visitors typically need to arrange access through the community office or attend scheduled public events. The central location in Mainz makes it easy to reach, and signage helps guide visitors to the entrance.
The prayer hall roof is oriented eastward and shaped like a horn to represent a shofar, the traditional instrument sounded during Jewish prayer gatherings. This architectural detail connects modern design with ancient religious symbolism.
