Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Schwachhausen, Bremen, Germany

The synagogue at Schwachhauser Heerstrasse 117 features a dome measuring 14.38 meters in diameter and accommodates 120 people in its prayer hall.

The previous synagogue on Gartenstrasse 6 was destroyed during the November 1938 pogrom, leading to the construction of this new building in 1961.

The prayer hall maintains traditional Jewish customs with separate seating arrangements, providing 70 seats for men near the Torah shrine and 50 seats for women in the gallery.

The synagogue complex includes a prayer hall, club room, courtyard, library, teaching spaces, offices, ritual bath, meeting rooms, and a Jewish kindergarten.

Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the synagogue established an integration office to support new community members arriving from former Soviet territories.
