New Synagogue

The New Synagogue features three domes constructed with stone and concrete materials, incorporating numerous windows that allow natural light to enter the space.

Built in 1988, this religious structure stands on the former location of Gestapo headquarters, marking the first newly constructed synagogue with a central dome in post-war Germany.

The synagogue functions as both a Reform Jewish congregation space and a museum, presenting exhibitions about local Jewish history and maintaining religious traditions.

Located at Wilhelm-Glässing-Straße 26, the synagogue provides seating for 200 people and maintains regular hours for religious services and cultural events.

British artist Brian Clarke created distinctive stained glass windows that complement architect Alfred Jacoby's postmodern design approach to religious architecture.
