Neue Synagoge Bochum, Modern synagogue in Bochum, Germany
The synagogue forms a substantial cube structure with exterior walls decorated by flat relief patterns of Stars of David and natural stone elements.
The building, completed in December 2007, stands as the first Jewish house of worship in Bochum since the destruction of the previous synagogue in 1938.
The Jewish Community of Bochum-Herne-Hattingen maintains religious services, educational programs, sports activities, and language courses for over 1000 members.
The synagogue, situated at Erich-Mendel-Platz 1, welcomes visitors through scheduled guided tours arranged by prior appointment with the community office.
The foundations of the building rest upon the remnants of the former Schützenhof assembly hall, which operated from 1865 to 1943.
