Synagogue

In Trieblitz / Třebívlice there was a small Israelite community, which was dissolved at the beginning of the 20th century.

The construction of a synagogue was prepared in 1821 by the Jewish religious community of Swinoujscie. The merchant Isenthal extended the rear building of his home (Große Kirchenstraße, today Grunwaldzka) and made the new premises available to the Jewish community. This space soon became too small.  An application made by the Jewish community in 1853 to the state for support in the construction of a synagogue was initially rejected due to the insufficient number of members.

It was only after 1848 that Jews were able to settle in Aussig, as it was a royal city. Jews were not allowed to settle in such a town.

The neoclassical synagogue from the 1880s in the ‚Kleine Wallgasse‘ was financed by donations from members of the community. The official dedication was performed by the Rabbi of Teplice Artur Rosenzweig.

The Jewish community of Soborten was probably one of the oldest in Böhmen. It comprised parts of the districts of Teplitz, Dux and Karbitz. A first wooden synagogue is said to have been destroyed by fire around 1500, after which the Jewish families are said to have left the village.

The first documentary evidence of the existence of a large Jewish settlement in Soborten dates back to the first half of the 17th century, after which almost 70 Jewish families are said to have lived in the village around 1620.

The synagogue in Most, a town in the Ústecký kraj in the Czech Republic, was built in 1872/73. It was located on the northern edge of the old town, on a plot of land on Ringstrasse next to the Protestant church, close to what was then Bahnhofstrasse.

The synagogue was set on fire by the German Nazi occupying forces during the November Pogrom Night of 1938. The remains of the building were demolished after 1940. In its place is an artificial lake, which was created by the flooding of an open-cast lignite mine.

The Great Synagogue in the Neo-Renaissance style was built between 1885 and 1887 by the Berlin architects Ende and Boeckman on the former Reitbahnstraße (today's ul. Bogusławskiego).

Due to the increased number of members of the Jewish community in Braunschweig, which meant that the synagogue room in the community center used until then was no longer sufficient, it was decided to build a new synagogue in the inner courtyard of the community center in Steinstraße, directly adjacent to it and to the bunker. In January 2006, Jürgen Justus Becker conceived and realized the campaign „1938 Bausteine für die Synagoge“ on a voluntary basis, whereby the number  1938 is intended to commemorate the November pogroms of 1938 and their consequences.
