Online Archive of Synagogues

Last use: living space

Until around 1830, services were held in a private house. In 1831 the upper floor of this house in Kirchenstraße was converted into a synagogue room. On the first floor the teacher/preacher had his apartment. For over 100 years the synagogue was the center of the Conservative-Orthodox Jewish community life in Strümpfelbrunn. Until after 1933, customs and liturgical traditions were maintained here that had already become a thing of the past in many communities. This was ensured until after 1933 by the long-time community leader Götz Israel.
