Neue Synagoge, 21st-century synagogue in Kapellenberg, Chemnitz, Germany

The Neue Synagoge at Stollberger Straße, designed by Alfred Jacoby and dedicated on 24 May 2002, is a conical ellipse covered by a dome-like glass-and-steel roof. Synagogue and adjoining community centre each hold about 300 people. The ground floor contains the prayer room with bimah and Torah ark, a kosher kitchen and a library with reading gallery.

The current synagogue opened on 24 May 2002, designed by architect Alfred Jacoby and built with a community centre on Stollberger Straße. It replaced the Alte Synagoge on the Kaßberg, consecrated on 7 March 1899, which was devastated and set on fire during the November pogroms of 9 November 1938; its remaining walls were blown up the next day. A memorial stone was placed at Stephanplatz in 1988.

The community centre houses a kosher kitchen, a library with a reading gallery, classrooms, a seniors' club and a youth centre with a mikveh in the basement. In November 2008 a donation campaign brought the congregation a new Torah scroll; since 2014/15 Rabbi Jakov Pertsovsky has served its 513 members.

The building provides spaces for religious services, community gatherings, and educational activities throughout the week. Visitors should plan to approach the site respectfully and check visiting times in advance.

The community center behind the prayer room holds a kosher kitchen, a library with a reading gallery, a youth center and a mikveh in the basement. The prayer room and the community hall each seat about 300 people, and the gallery level of the synagogue contains an organ and choir area.
