Synagogues in Leer, Jewish religious center in Leer, Germany.

The synagogue stood as a central religious building with stone foundations, featuring a basement entrance that connected to the ritual bath area.

Constructed in 1885 when 300 Jewish residents lived in Leer, the synagogue remained active until its destruction during the November 1938 pogrom.

The synagogue provided educational programs and community gatherings for Jewish residents in the East Friesland region near the Dutch border.

Recent archaeological excavations in 2020 revealed the original foundation walls at two meters depth, leading to new preservation plans at the site.

The location maintains connections with the Groningen synagogue in Netherlands through a cross-border research initiative funded by European development programs.
