Synagogue Hauptstraße (Rheingönheim)

A prayer room was possibly already present since 1815. The location is no longer known. A Jewish prayer room in Rheingönheim is documented in writing in 1859. 
   
On May 15, 1873, the Rheingönheim civic community sold a house at Hauptstraße 67 to the Jewish religious community. The community set up a prayer room and a teacher's apartment in the newly built house. The prayer room was located in the front rooms on the first floor. The teacher's apartment included a living room and kitchen on the first floor and three bedrooms on the 1st floor.  
 
In 1928, the building was rented to private individuals. In March 1938, it was sold to the Rheingönheim municipality for 7,500 Reichsmark. Thus it was saved from destruction during the November pogrom in 1938. During World War II, the building was first used as accommodation for the female labor service, and later also for the Hitler Youth, who were trained here for fire-fighting operations during air raids. In 1941, an air raid shelter was built on the rear property. In 1949, the building was partially demolished, the first floor was converted into a store, and the half-timbered gable was replaced by a new, raised upper floor. Subsequently, in addition to the store (cleaning), part of the building was used as a workshop (carpentry). In the 1980s, the demolition of the building was discussed.  
 
On March 23, 1983, a memorial plaque was placed in the courtyard of the building. The text reads, "In memory - This was the site of the former Jewish school and prayer house - Closing in 1938. The original building was rebuilt in 1949." After another reconstruction and extensive renovation in 2008, the building is used as a clubhouse by the Rheingönheim Carnival Society (Klotzgrumbeer e.V.).
