Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Schwachhausen, Bremen, Germany
The Synagogue in Schwachhausen is a Jewish place of worship with a distinctive dome and space for about 120 people in the prayer hall. The building complex includes a prayer hall, club room, library, teaching spaces, ritual bath, and a Jewish kindergarten on the grounds.
The original building was destroyed in 1938 during the pogrom, forcing the community to manage without a synagogue for many years. This new building was constructed in 1961 to restore a dedicated place of worship for the community.
The prayer hall follows Jewish traditions with separate seating areas for men and women, reflecting the historical practices of worship. This arrangement is a visible aspect of religious life that visitors can observe here.
The building is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is usually open only at specific times for visitors. It is recommended to inquire in advance about service times or special opening hours to plan your visit.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the community opened an integration office to support members arriving from former Soviet territories. This initiative shows how the congregation adapted to social changes and welcomed new arrivals.
