Synagoge, Jewish synagogue in Münster, Germany
The synagogue located at Klosterstraße 8-9 is a modern building with a straightforward design that prioritizes function for religious services. The structure provides space for ceremonies and community gatherings with a clean, minimalist approach to its architecture.
This building was constructed in 1961 following the destruction of the previous synagogue during the 1938 events. Its construction represented a significant rebuilding of Jewish religious life in the city after World War II.
The synagogue serves as a gathering place for the Jewish community to celebrate holidays and host events throughout the year. Visitors can witness how this building functions as a social and spiritual center for people sharing this heritage.
The building is located in the city center and easy to find from the street. Visitors should inquire ahead since access can be limited at times and contacting the community beforehand is advisable.
Jewish presence in Münster can be traced back to 1127, making this one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities in Northwest Germany. This long history reveals how deeply rooted Jewish life has been in this location for more than 800 years.
