Stuttgart Synagogue

The IRGW is the Jewish community for the Württemberg region of Baden-Württemberg. Its roots go back to 1832, the year in which the Jewish community in Stuttgart was formally founded. In 1912, the IRGW was recognized as a corporation under public law. Since its re-establishment in 1945, the IRGW has grown to more than 2,500 parishioners. In addition, there are numerous family members cared for by the IRGW who are not Jewish themselves.
The IRGW maintains branches in Ulm, Esslingen, Reutlingen, Heilbronn, Aalen, Heidenheim and Weingarten as well as further groups in Schwäbisch Hall and Bad Mergentheim to provide comprehensive care for its parishioners and their family members.
With its kindergarten, Eduard Pfeiffer Primary School (EPS), state-approved religious education and the youth center HaLev – das Herz, as well as the Jüdische Studierendenunion Württemberg (JSUW) and our family department comJewnity, the IRGW ensures Jüdische education and care for families throughout Württemberg.
