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.
Synagogues have stood at this location since 981, until Jews were expelled in 1519 and the building was destroyed. The current center was completed in 2019, restoring Jewish presence in Regensburg after centuries of absence.
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.
