Synagoge Stommeln, Architectural heritage synagogue in Stommeln, Pulheim, Germany.

The Synagoge Stommeln is a former synagogue built in 1881/82, set back from the street behind the house at Hauptstraße 85. The field-fired brick building with a hipped roof covers about 43 m² and has a west-side women's gallery of roughly 11 m². Its south facade shows neo-Romanesque elements: a central riser in yellow brick with a round-arched gable, a Star of David in the middle, three round-arched windows and a diamond frieze below the eaves.

The synagogue was built in the 19th century to serve the growing Jewish community in Stommeln as a place of worship. The building survived World War II and was later protected as a monument.

Since 1991 the former synagogue has hosted one exhibition a year by an internationally known artist, among them Jannis Kounellis (1991), Richard Serra (1992), Georg Baselitz (1993), Rebecca Horn (1998) and Daniel Buren (2010). The building is also a memorial to the Jewish community of Stommeln and to the fate of German Jews.

The former synagogue stands in the second row behind the house at Hauptstraße 85, set back from the street. The city of Pulheim bought the building in 1979 and renovated it until 1983; it now hosts one art exhibition a year, so check the local cultural calendar before visiting.

The star of David on the central risalit was covered with mortar under the farmer Anton Pütz, who bought the building on 14 May 1937 and broke a new entrance into the wall. In the night of 9 to 10 November 1938 he faced an SA unit from Pulheim with fuel canisters and said the building was no synagogue but his storage shed, so it survived the pogrom.
