Berne synagogue

Zunächst was a prayer room available. It was located like the Jewish school (named in 1814) in the house of Manleib Insel. In 1834 Landrabbiner Hirsch said that the prayer room was too small, "so that a larger place should be considered". From the rabbi's criticism of the service as "not punctual, not regular, not worthy" consequences were then drawn. Also planned in the aftermath a synagogue. In 1838, the Jewish families were able to buy a house with land on the main street of the village. The old building was demolished and replaced by a new one. The synagogue was consecrated on August 18/19, 1840 by Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch. He described the new place of worship as quite dignified and suitable for its purpose. The benches in the synagogue were placed along the outside walls. Torah scrolls were present in the Torah shrine. 
After 1933 due to the decreased number of Jewish residents, probably hardly any services were held in the synagogue. In the course of 1938, the building was sold. As a result, it remained undestroyed during the November pogrom of 1938. However, the remaining ritual objects were dragged out of the former synagogue by SA troops and burned on a nearby sports field
