Orthodox Synagogue

In 1946, the Central Committee of the Liberated Jews made an effort to build an Orthodox synagogue in the immediate vicinity of Möhlstrasse and its Jewish institutions. At the end of 1946, it became possible for rooms in the former “Lauer Villa” to be used. In addition to a synagogue, facilities for ritual slaughter were set up in the basement, as well as a ritual bath (mikvah) and a wedding room and accommodation for up to 250 people. After the closure of the Central Committee in 1950, the synagogue was integrated into the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde München. In 1961, it was thoroughly renovated and remained in use for services until around 1974.
