Synagogue of Ludwigsburg

The synagogue structure stood at the intersection of Alleenstrasse and Solitudenstrasse, featuring distinct Roman architectural elements and two galleries for women on the upper floor.

The Jewish community of Ludwigsburg constructed their first synagogue in 1824, followed by a larger building in 1884 that included a school and library.

The synagogue served as the central religious institution for 243 Jewish residents in 1900, offering regular services and educational programs for 22 children.

The building contained separate prayer areas for men on the ground floor and women in the upper galleries, following traditional Jewish customs.

After its destruction in 1938, fragments of the synagogue were incorporated into the walls of the Ludwigsburg prison, creating an unexpected historical connection.
