Synagogue, Cultural heritage synagogue in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany.

The Synagogue in Esslingen am Neckar occupies a two-storey half-timbered house at Heppächer 3, the former guild house of the tailors. In 1819 the Jewish community converted it into a community centre with a prayer hall on the upper floor, a classroom and the cantor's flat. The prayer hall was refurnished with new seating in the 1889/90 renovation.

In early 1819 the Jewish community of Esslingen bought a two-storey timber-framed house at Heppächer 3, the former guild house of the tailors, and converted it by September 1819 into a community centre with a prayer hall, a classroom and the cantor's flat. The prayer room on the first floor was refitted with new furnishings and seating in 1889/90. The synagogue was desecrated during the November pogrom of 1938; from 1949 to 1986 the building served as the Jugendhaus Stadtmitte, then housed a private gallery, and since March 2012 it has been used as a synagogue again.

The building was the prayer hall of Esslingen's Jewish community from 1819 until 1938, when it was desecrated during the November pogroms. From 1949 to 1986 it housed the Jugendhaus Stadtmitte youth centre, then a private gallery. Since March 2012 it has again served as a synagogue, with the community overseen by Rabbi Yehuda Pushkin.

Access is typically available by prior arrangement, as it is both a religious building and historical monument. It is recommended to contact local tourism organizations in advance to learn about visiting times and any special events or commemorative occasions.
