Synagogue Rhine Street (Bingen)

The liberal larger community used the synagogue in Rheinstraße, which had been consecrated in 1700 and stood on the site of what was presumably the first Bingen synagogue from the 14th century.

Despite various reconstructions and extensions in the course of the 19th century and despite the departure of the Orthodox congregation members, the building had become too small for the stately growing Jewish religious community and was in a structurally poor condition. Thus, the community board decided to sell the synagogue together with the buildings belonging to it. Its first owner was Friedrich Wilhelm Klump. After an inn with a dance floor and guest rooms was first set up there, the building later served as a discotheque in a modified form.
