100

The community synagogue built in 1913-16 on Kottbusser Ufer, today Fraenkelufer, consisted of a main building to which several annexes were attached. The building complex, which had room for about 2,000 people, also included the weekday synagogue, a room for youth services, and service apartments for the synagogue staff. As early as 1930, the synagogue was smeared with swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans. Like many other synagogues, this one was set on fire and severely damaged by Nazis during the November pogrom on the night of November 9/10, 1938.

Pestalozzistrasse Synagogue (Berlin)

The synagogue in Pestalozzistrasse, built in 1911/12, is a liberal Jewish house of worship. First intended and used as a private synagogue, it became the property of the Jewish community as an association synagogue in 1919. It is still located in the backyard today and thus remained largely unscathed during the Nazi period. Misappropriated, it was eventually used until the end of the war as a horse stable and laundry, among other things. Shortly after the end of the war, the first restoration work began, so that in 1947 it could once again function as one of the first Berlin synagogues.
