Rykestraße Synagogue (Berlin)
The Conservative synagogue on Rykestraße is the only remaining Jewish place of worship in the eastern part of the city. It was finally inaugurated in 1904 after a ten-month construction period and served as a meeting place and place of prayer primarily for Jews who had moved to Eastern Europe. Attached to it were several Jewish school institutions. The synagogue, located in the backyard, continued to function as such until 1940, when it was misused by the National Socialists as a storage facility, among other things.
City walk Magdeburg
The university and "Otto City" of Magdeburg - named after Emperor Otto I (912-73) and Otto von Guericke (1602-86) - is today one of the three major centers in Saxony-Anhalt with a good 242,000 inhabitants and has also been the state capital since 1990. First documented in 805, the trading center on the Elbe was elevated to the status of archbishopric by Otto I in 968. It was from here that the colonization of the Slavic territories started in an easterly direction. Through the spread of the Magdeburg city law, the fair and Hanseatic city gained enormous importance.

First mentioned in a document in 1194, Bayreuth was important as a market town on the trade route from Nuremberg to Saxony and northern Bohemia.

Tabernacle for widows (Neukalen)
The Israelite community of Neukalen was able to build a synagogue in Wasserstraße in 1843, thanks to a donation from descendants of Neukalen Jews. Next to the synagogue, the tabernacle for widows was built at the same time. In 1899 both houses were sold due to their poor condition. The Stiftshaus was preserved, but was no longer used by the local Jewish community, which had already dissolved in 1900. The tabernacle house for widows was renovated in 2009.
