History

In October 1905, the Jewish community had decided to buy the property in the pheasant road, and two years later announced an architectural competition for the construction of the synagogue, which produced three first prizes, which the architect Ehrenfried Hessel (Berlin), CFW Leonhardt (Frankfurt am Main) and Heger & Franke were awarded. 1910 started the construction work under the direction of the community architect Johann Hoeniger. On 26 August 1912, the synagogue was inaugurated.

Often, the municipality chairman Leo Baeck preached here. Rabbi was Julius Galliner.

Since the early 1930s there were around these synagogue increasingly anti -Semitic provocations and 1936, its closure was forced. In the November pogroms in 1938, she was set on fire and 1943 further destroyed in air raids. 1957/1958 the ruins were demolished and built until 1960 at this point of Dieter garlic and Hans Heise, the Jewish community center.
