Jüdisches Gemeindezentrum Regensburg, Religious community center and synagogue in Regensburg, Germany.
The Jewish Community Center Regensburg is a modern worship complex located in the city's historic center. It contains prayer halls, meeting spaces, and areas for educational programs that serve the local Jewish community.
The Neue Synagoge, designed by Joseph Koch, opened on 29 August 1912 on this site, with a community house built beside it. In the night of 9–10 November 1938, NSKK men set it on fire and the ruin was later cleared. The new community center, designed by Volker Staab, was inaugurated on 27 February 2019, 80 years after the destruction and 500 years after the Jews' expulsion from the imperial city.
The center hosts Jewish religious services, learning programs, and community gatherings for local Jewish residents. People here celebrate holidays, mark life events, and build connections with fellow community members.
The center sits in the old town and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should check ahead for opening times and event schedules, as these can vary throughout the week.
Architect Volker Staab designed the building with carefully placed windows that bring natural light into the interior and blur the boundary between inside and outside spaces. This approach gives the rooms an open and airy quality.
