Old synagogue Obergebraer Straße / corner Gartenstraße (Bleicherode)

In 1880 the foundation stone for a new synagogue could be laid. The construction was financed by donations (see above report on the death of M. S. Falkenstein). Construction was supervised by Baurat Edwin Oppler from Hanover; he had shortly before built a synagogue in Hameln almost identical to the synagogue in Bleicherode. Master mason Schirmer from Bleicherode carried out the work. On June 1, 1882, the synagogue was consecrated by Professor Heidenheim, a rabbi from Bleicherode. The architecture was essentially characterized by neo-Romanesque forms. The construction cost a total of 45,000 thalers.  
During the November pogrom in 1938, the synagogue was burned down by SA people and other Nazis. The synagogue property came into the possession of the city at the price of two Reichsmark per square meter. The synagogue ruins stood until the 1950s and were then demolished (according to other information, the synagogue ruins were removed before the end of the war). The site of the synagogue became a lawn. 
In 1986, a memorial stone was erected at the site of the destroyed synagogue with the inscription: "Here stood the synagogue of the Jewish community of Bleicherode. It was burned down by fascists on the night of the pogrom on November 9, 1938. In 1988 a commemorative plaque of the Evangelical Church Community was placed at the Evangelical Church with the inscription: "In our town there was a community of our older brothers and sisters in faith in God - The Jewish Community of Bleicherode. Their synagogue was burned down on November 9, 1938. The people were scorned, shunned, expelled. Many were killed. And we remained silent. Lord, help us not to be silent again when people are despised or shunned next to us. Amen. 1988 - Fifty Years After." On November 6, 2008, a new memorial stone for the synagogue was erected at the synagogue site, including the inscription "Wehret den Anfängen". 
In the meantime, on the synagogue property, next to the memorial stone, there are two stones of the former synagogue, which were found a few years ago at the Lower Fire Pond. A third found stone is part of the exhibition on the history of the Jewish community in Bleicherode in the Old Chancellery.
