Synagogen in Nürnberg, Historic synagogues in Nuremberg, Germany.

The 1874 Hans-Sachs-Platz synagogue featured a prominent dome design and square base, following architect Adolf Wolff's detailed construction plans.

The medieval synagogue at Frauenkirche location was destroyed in 1349, while the second one in Wunderburggasse was demolished in 1499 due to anti-Jewish policies.

The synagogue received visits from Prince Regent Luitpold in 1886 and Emperor Wilhelm II in 1897, marking the Jewish community's position in German society.

The current synagogue at Arno-Hamburger-Strasse 1 serves as the main center for the Jewish community in Nuremberg since 1984.

The Nuremberg Judenstein, a Torah crown from the 14th century, was secretly buried during the synagogue's demolition and later transferred to the city museum.
