Ancienne synagogue d'Aix-la-Chapelle, 19th-century synagogue in Aachen, Germany.
The Alte Synagoge featured Moorish Revival architecture with horseshoe-shaped windows and ornate details designed by architect Wilhelm Wickop in 1862.
The synagogue served Aachen's Jewish community until November 1938, when it was burned down during Kristallnacht and subsequently demolished by Nazi forces.
The synagogue's architectural style incorporated neo-Islamic elements, reflecting the German Jewish community's integration of different artistic traditions in religious buildings.
The former synagogue's location at Synagogenplatz, renamed from Promenadenplatz in 1984, contains a memorial marking the original structure's position.
A document placed in the synagogue's foundation stone recorded the period's tolerance toward Jewish citizens, contrasting with later historical events.
