Complete profile

In 1875, the community acquired Baron von Eichthal's riding school at König-Karl-Straße (then Königsstraße) 49 and had it converted into a synagogue according to plans by the Cannstatt architect Christian Weisslig. Although not a magnificent building like the Stuttgart synagogue of 1861, the project was a sign of identification and commitment for the congregation of just over 250 members at the time.

The community remained independent after the unification of Cannstatt and Stuttgart in 1905; it reached its peak shortly before the turn of the century with almost 500 people.

On September 5, 1907, the synagogue of the German-assimilated Orthodox Jewish community in Poznan, built by the Berlin architects Cremer & Wolffenstein in Moorish-Oriental style, was inaugurated. It offered space for 600 seated and 100 standing places for men and - on two side galleries - space for 600 women. At the time, 5,324 Jews lived in the city of Poznan, which corresponded to around 3.8% of the city's population. The building, which was built by the Jewish community for around 850,000 Reichsmark, was unusually imposing.

The construction of the new synagogue in Potsdam is a controversial topic. It is about erecting a religious building in a historical and political metropolis. The challenges of reviving Jewish life in Germany become clear through these discussions, and in 2012 the plan was concretized and the state government made a plot of land in the city center available. Several architectural competitions were held. The synagogue was to have not only a religious, but also a cultural center. However, the first designs met with resistance.

There had been a synagogue in Fürstenberg/Havel since the 18th century. The first evidence of prayers in Fürstenberg dates back to 1764. In the same year, the Jewish community began to ask the duke for permission to buy a house due to increasing membership numbers. They received permission on May 28, 1777, and after 11 years the synagogue was put on record as the purchased house was in need of repair due to water damage. In 1788, a new synagogue was built on a plot of land in the western part of the town.
