Synagogue

The foundation stone for the construction of the New Libeň Synagogue was laid on November 23, 1846 in the presence of Archduke Stephan, Governor of Böhmen and Palatine of Hungary. The construction took twelve long years. The building was erected in the Romanesque-antique style of the Maxentius Basilica, with a neo-Romanesque interior with oriental elements, in keeping with the romantic historicism that was fashionable at the time. An avenue of low trees led from the entrance gate to the entrance. The building itself is made of brick, monolithic, two-storey and closed with a gabled roof.

The neo-Gothic synagogue, completed in 1863, was rebuilt in 1931 in a functionalist style. After the Second World War, the building was used for secular purposes, as the Jewish community in Sm&nbspute;chov ceased to exist during the Shoah. Since 1998, the building has served as the archive of the Jewish Museum in Prague (Židovské muzeum v Praze).

The Karolinenthal Synagogue is a former Jewish house of prayer in Prague 8 - Karlín. The synagogue was built in 1861 in the neo-Romanesque style].

The Karolinenthal Synagogue was intended for the wealthy local Jewish community. Until the end of 1921, Karlín (Karolinenthal) was an independent town with a predominantly industrial production focus. Many of the town's wealthy factory owners and merchants were Jewish. The synagogue underwent several structural alterations. The last functionalist alterations to the interior were carried out between 1928 and 1930.

The Pinkas Synagogue dates back to the 16th century. It is the second oldest synagogue in Prague's Jewish quarter. In 1959, it was converted into a memorial to the Jewish victims from B¨hmen and M¨hren.

Children's drawings from the Theresienstadt concentration camp are exhibited on the second floor.

The synagogue in Herxheim near Landau/Pfalz, a local community in the district of Südliche Weinstraße in Rhineland-Palatinate, was built in 1841/42. The synagogue stood at Obere Hauptstra e 18.

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.
