Synagogue of Ludwigsburg

The Synagogue of Ludwigsburg was a house of worship built in Romanesque Revival style, located at the corner of Alleenstrasse and Solitudenstrasse. The building provided seating for men on the ground floor and two separate galleries for women in the upper levels.

The Jewish community built its first synagogue in 1824, then replaced it with a larger building in 1884 that included a school and library. The structure was destroyed in 1938.

The synagogue served as the spiritual center where the Jewish community gathered for worship and community events. It reflected the importance of Jewish life in Ludwigsburg during the 1800s.

The site no longer has a standing building, as the original structure was not preserved. Visitors interested in learning about this history can explore local memorials and archives in Ludwigsburg.

After its destruction, stone fragments from the building were incorporated into the walls of Ludwigsburg prison, creating an unintended historical connection between the destroyed sanctuary and the detention facility. This repurposing stands today as a quiet testament to the events of that time.
