Synagogue

Because of the relatively high number of Jewish villagers around 1800, it can be assumed that a prayer hall was still established in the 18th century. However, the first mention of a synagogue is available only with a report of the district directorate of the State Administration Commission of 1815. The Herschberg Urkataster of 1844 shows that a synagogue (presumably a newly established building) was bought in 1830 by Sebastian Stahl zu Battwiler for 300 gulden. This building could not have been too small, since it also housed the Jewish school until 1863.

A synagogue ("Judenschule") is mentioned already in 1789. The street where it was located is still called Judengasse today. The synagogue was leased to Lazarus Jacob for residential purposes in 1902 and auctioned off for 1,900 marks in 1907. The rituals and the Torah scrolls were moved to Kusel. The building still stands and is used as a residence. In the neighboring building, the remains of a mikvah were found during renovation work in the 1960s.

The liberal larger community used the synagogue in Rheinstraße, which had been consecrated in 1700 and stood on the site of what was presumably the first Bingen synagogue from the 14th century.

Little is known about the synagogue in Ludwigslust. Presumably, the Jewish community used a rented room as a prayer hall as early as 1801. The synagogue at Breite Straße 28 was probably built around 1810. The synagogue would have had to be expanded and rebuilt as the congregation grew in number. The building project was delayed for several years, but there is hardly any information about the extent of its realization. Since the community already dissolved in 1924, the synagogue building was sold privately and continued to be used as a residential building.

Since 1799, the Jewish community in Boizenburg had a synagogue in the small Wallstraße. In 1864, the synagogue, which was originally a half-timbered building, was completely rebuilt and received a new brick facade. The consecration of the synagogue took place on October 1, 1864. The synagogue was sold as early as 1892 due to the decline in the number of congregation members. In 1934, the city took over the house and used it as a local museum until the 1980s.

The villa in Harvestehude was rented by the Sephardic community in 1935 and furnished as a synagogue. The building bore the Hebrew inscription "Holy Congregation of Sephardim Beit Israel - Near is God to all who call upon Him"; on the bay window was a Magen David. Neither had to be removed, despite a protest by the NSDAP to the relevant authorities. In 1938, the synagogue was probably not attacked. After the lease expired at the end of 1939, the building was converted back to residential use.
