Synagogue in Siegen

The synagogue building featured separate seating areas with 90 seats for men on the ground floor and 70 seats for women in the gallery.

Berlin architect Eduard Fürstenau designed this religious structure, which opened its doors to worshippers on July 22, 1904, following rapid construction progress.

The synagogue operated under moderate Orthodox Judaism principles, incorporating both traditional elements and modern features such as provisions for a choir and harmonium.

The building included essential facilities like a schoolroom, ritual bath, storage areas, changing rooms, toilets, and living quarters for the caretaker.

A virtual reconstruction project in 2021 displayed the synagogue on the exterior wall of the Bunker museum, marking 1700 years of Jewish life in Germany.
