Synagoge Heidelberg, Memorial site of former synagogue in Heidelberg, Germany
The memorial square features marble paving stones marking the original walls, granite elements indicating windows, and twelve sandstone cubes representing the synagogue pews.
Built in 1878 at Große Mantelgasse, the synagogue served Heidelberg's Jewish community until its destruction during the November 1938 Nazi-orchestrated pogrom.
The memorial space incorporates architectural elements that outline the former synagogue's structure, preserving the memory of Jewish religious life in Heidelberg.
Located at the intersection of Lauerstraße and Große Mantelgasse, the memorial site includes information plaques detailing the synagogue's history in multiple languages.
The twelve sandstone cubes placed throughout the square carry dual symbolism, representing both the original seating arrangement and the twelve tribes of Israel.
