Former main synagogue, so-called "Altschul"

Built in 1615/16 on the model of the Pinkass Synagogue in Prague, consecrated in 1617.

Under the liberal Chief Rabbi Dr. Isaak Loewi, the "Old School" was rebuilt twice: in 1831 in the neo-Gothic style adapted to the requirements of Reform Judaism and in 1863-65 extended by a northern side aisle and provided with a Moorish facade.
