Synagogue Eimelrod (Willingen)

In Zacharias, 1988 there is talk about Eimelrod, Willingen in Lower Saxony. It is assumed that this is an error and the information refers to Eimelrod in Hesse. Last use: garden

In Eimelrod there was an old, very small synagogue. It was possibly created around 1780 and had 24 seats for men, 16 for women. Until the end, there was no electric light in the building; lighting was provided by stall lanterns. Even after the number of Jewish residents declined rapidly after 1933, according to information at Arnsberg, occasional services were still held in the synagogue until 1938.  
   
During the November pogrom of 1938 the synagogue was completely destroyed. The burnt ruins were demolished in 1939.
