Brodyer Synagoge, Orthodox synagogue in Leipzig, Germany
Description
The Brodyer Synagogue is located at Keilstrasse 4 and features circular windows with colored glass and columns styled after oriental architecture that support the upper galleries. The prayer hall contains roughly 510 seats arranged to serve the community's worship needs.
History
The building was constructed in 1904 during a period of growth for Leipzig's Jewish community seeking dedicated space for worship. Its location within a residential building proved crucial to its survival during the destruction of that era.
Culture
The local Jewish community continues to gather here for worship and religious observances, maintaining traditions that shaped the space over generations. The interior displays handcrafted details and objects that connect visitors to these continuing practices.
Practical
The synagogue is located within a residential building, which means it has no separate exterior entrance for visitors to find easily. Advance arrangements are necessary to visit, and appropriate dress is expected when entering the prayer space.
Did you know?
The name refers to the Galician town of Brody and preserves the heritage of those who founded it. Eastern European fur merchants who had settled in Leipzig established this place as a reflection of their origins.
