Synagogue Krefeld Bruchstraße

Since the 1840s, the small Jewish community in Krefeld Uerdingen had its own synagogue. It was located on Bruchstra&szlig. On October 15, 1841 - in the presence of city representatives and representatives of the other denominations - the solemn inauguration took place.

Due to the structural conditions of the Uerdingen synagogue, arson was not possible during the November pogroms, so the interior, including all religious objects, was emptied and set on fire on the market square in Uerdingen. Later, the roof had to be covered and the building walls torn down.

Since 1988, a bronze plate commemorates the location of the former synagogue.
