Synagoge Hülchrath

Synagoge Hülchrath is a former place of worship in Grevenbroich with a rectangular structure, traditional architectural features, and large windows on Broichstrasse. The interior accommodates cultural events and exhibitions about the Jewish history of the area.

The Jewish community built this structure in 1875 as a synagogue. After 1938, Nazi authorities forced the sale of the building, and it was converted for commercial and other uses.

The building now serves as a cultural center hosting exhibitions, concerts, and discussions focused on Jewish heritage and dialogue between different communities. Visitors experience a space where people from different backgrounds gather to learn and connect.

Visitors can arrange guided tours by calling ahead and learn about the local Jewish history through exhibitions. The displays offer insights into the lives and experiences of the former community.

The building underwent a remarkable transformation through restoration in 1998, converting it into a memorial site and community space. This renovation project reflected the region's commitment to remembrance and reconciliation after the war.
