Synagogue in Bamberg

The synagogue at Herzog-Max-Strasse featured a grand architectural design with stone walls and large windows that illuminated its prayer hall.

The Jewish community in Bamberg constructed multiple synagogues throughout history, with the 1910 building serving as their final pre-war house of worship.

The synagogue contained forty Torah scrolls and religious objects from various Jewish communities across the Upper Franconia region before its destruction.

The building stood at the intersection of Urbanstrasse and Herzog-Max-Strasse, requiring 300,000 marks for its complete construction in 1910.

Memorial stones and plaques now mark the location where the synagogue once stood, commemorating 31 Jewish soldiers who died in World War I.
