Association Synagogue Berlin Lindenufer (district Spandau)

The synagogue was built in 1895, after the land was purchased in 1894. The construction and the land cost a total of about 90,000 marks. "The community was therefore entirely dependent on its own help and it was decided to take out a loan of 50,000 marks against pledging the synagogue property" (Kohstall 1929, p.48). Thus, the indebted congregation was not able to hire a rabbi until 1904.

The prayer house, built by architects Cremer and Wolffenstein, had 296 seats. Men and women sat separately in the synagogue, which was called a "temple" at the time.                                                              

On Progrom Night in 1938, the synagogue was completely destroyed.

In 1977, a commemorative plaque was unveiled in the presence of the then chairman of the Jewish Community of Berlin, Heinz Galinski.

In 1989, a memorial designed by Ruth Golan and Kay Zareh was inaugurated. This bears the inscription in Hebrew:

"A struggle of the sons of light and the sons of darkness."
