Synagogue (Mühringen)

During the November pogrom of 1938, fire was set in the synagogue building by unknown SA men. The Mühringen fire department, alerted by neighbors, was able to extinguish the fire, which had been set in the area of the Torah shrine, a short time later. Torah shrine as well as part of the benches and windows were destroyed by the fire. Some of the cult objects could be saved by the Jews still living in Mühringen. In June 1943, the synagogue became the property of the Horb tax office, which rented it to the Mauser arms factory for a warehouse of rifle stocks. Due to artillery fire, the building experienced some damage towards the end of the war.  
  
From 1950 to 1952, various minor repairs were initially made. In December 1954, the building came for 5,000 DM in the possession of the municipality of Mühringen. Due to the progressive dilapidation, entering the synagogue was prohibited. In 1960 the former synagogue was demolished. In its place today there is a parking lot and a green area with a small memorial stone erected in 1983 (at the stairway to the town hall/primary school above the play street).
