Synagogue Lüdenscheid Luisenstraße

From 1902, the prayer room of the synagogue community existed on the second floor of a building in Luisenstra&szlig, üabove the restaurant „Jägerhof“. In 1937 the prayer room was abandoned, and the organ was sold in January 1938 for 50 Reichsmark to the Free Evangelical Congregation in Halver. This part of the building was later demolished, the new building is part of the town library. At the Rück side of the building in Corneliusstraße is a memorial plaque unveiled in 1990 „Here, in the years 1901 to 1936, the hundred Jewish Bürger Lüdenscheid gathered for prayer. During the inhuman rule of the National Socialists from 1933 to 1945, they were persecuted, tortured, expropriated, expelled and murdered. Their suffering obliges us to stand up for the dignity and freedom of all people. Dedicated by the city of Lüdenscheid in 1990.“ (Source: Traces of Jewish life in Lüdenscheid, Ge-Denk-Zellen Altes Rathaus Lüdenscheid, Gesellschaft für christlich-jüdische Zusammenarbeit, Lüdenscheid 2016)
