Brunswick Synagogue

Due to the increased number of members of the Jewish community in Braunschweig, which meant that the synagogue room in the community center used until then was no longer sufficient, it was decided to build a new synagogue in the inner courtyard of the community center in Steinstraße, directly adjacent to it and to the bunker. In January 2006, Jürgen Justus Becker conceived and realized the campaign „1938 Bausteine für die Synagoge“ on a voluntary basis, whereby the number  1938 is intended to commemorate the November pogroms of 1938 and their consequences. 1938 citizens, companies and institutions in the Brunswick region were asked to contribute 100 euros to the financing of the new building. It took almost three years to achieve the goal. The foundation stone was laid on April 26, and the new building was officially opened on December 6, 2006.
