LVR-Cultural Centre Village Synagogue Rödingen, Jewish cultural center and museum in Titz, Germany.
The LVR-Cultural Centre Village Synagogue Rödingen is a synagogue building in Titz with several original features preserved from its religious period. Inside, wooden pillars support a women's gallery, and the original Torah ark remains fixed on the eastern wall.
The building started as a residence in 1749 and was expanded in 1841 to include a synagogue space for the local Jewish community. It served as a place of worship until the community was forced to cease operations in 1934.
The name reflects the village of Rödingen, where a Jewish community established roots and gathered for religious practice. Visitors today can see how this space served as a center for communal life and worship.
The center runs regular lectures, workshops, and concerts exploring Jewish religion and culture throughout the year. Visitors should note that the location sits in a village setting and is best reached by personal transport.
An understated but telling detail is an original iron nail mounted specifically to hang the Ner Tamid, the eternal light of Jewish tradition. This small fixture reveals how intentionally the space was designed to serve religious purposes from its creation.
