Synagogue Kippenheim, Synagogue and museum in Kippenheim, Germany

The synagogue building features ornate architectural elements with a central prayer hall and galleries displaying exhibits about Jewish heritage in Baden-Württemberg.

Constructed in 1852, the synagogue served the Jewish community until 1938 when the interior was destroyed by the Hitler Youth during Kristallnacht.

The former religious center now functions as an educational facility presenting information about Jewish traditions and the history of Ortenau Jews through permanent exhibitions.

The memorial site offers guided tours for groups and school classes, exploring both the synagogue interior and historical locations throughout Kippenheim.

The building survived demolition plans during World War II and transformed from a cooperative storage facility in 1955 to a memorial center in 2003.
