Synagogue Humboldtstraße (Halle (Saale))

The post-war Jewish congregation was founded in 1947 under the leadership of Hermann Baden.

The mourning hall built in 1894 has been used as a synagogue since 1953 following renovations, as the inner-city synagogue was destroyed under National Socialism and the property was put to another use.

On October 9, 2019, an anti-Semitic and racist terrorist attack was carried out on the synagogue. Stephan B., a right-wing extremist from Eisleben, tried to break into the synagogue and massacre the members of the congregation who had gathered there on Yom Kippur. When he did not succeed, he killed two people who happened to cross his path.
