Synagoga gminna w Poznaniu, Jewish Community Building at Stawna Street, Poznań, Poland
The Synagoga gminna w Poznaniu is a four-story corner building on Stawna Street with facades of yellow and red clinker brick. The architecture combines Romanesque and Gothic elements into a distinctive design.
Construction was completed in 1897 and the building served as headquarters for Jewish organizations until 1939. German occupation during World War II led to confiscation and an interruption of its original purpose.
The building served as the social center for the Jewish community, housing a library, school, and meeting spaces for different organizations. This active use by residents made it a vital gathering place in the neighborhood.
The building functions today as an active prayer house for the Jewish community in Poznań with regular services. Visitors should check opening times and any visiting guidelines in advance, as it remains an active place of worship.
In 2009, new Torah scrolls imported from Israel replaced the printed text versions that had been used for ceremonies. This change restored the community's practice to authentic traditional scrolls.
