The so-called New Synagogue in Oranienburger Straße, which can already be spotted from the S-Bahn with its 50m high golden dome, was once the largest Jewish house of worship in Germany. It had several thousand seats and was considered the most magnificent synagogue in Berlin. The synagogue was built according to the designs of architects Eduard Knoblauch and August Stüler and was finally completed in 1866 after seven years of construction. While the liberal house of worship was relatively spared until 1940, it was almost completely burned out after a bombing raid in November 1943.

The community synagogue built in 1913-16 on Kottbusser Ufer, today Fraenkelufer, consisted of a main building to which several annexes were attached. The building complex, which had room for about 2,000 people, also included the weekday synagogue, a room for youth services, and service apartments for the synagogue staff. As early as 1930, the synagogue was smeared with swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans. Like many other synagogues, this one was set on fire and severely damaged by Nazis during the November pogrom on the night of November 9/10, 1938.

Synagogue of the association "Thora-Chessed e. V.". It was located in the second backyard of the building. Last use: Charlottenburg cultural association.

The synagogue in Pestalozzistrasse, built in 1911/12, is a liberal Jewish house of worship. First intended and used as a private synagogue, it became the property of the Jewish community as an association synagogue in 1919. It is still located in the backyard today and thus remained largely unscathed during the Nazi period. Misappropriated, it was eventually used until the end of the war as a horse stable and laundry, among other things. Shortly after the end of the war, the first restoration work began, so that in 1947 it could once again function as one of the first Berlin synagogues.

The building has been heavily destroyed during the war. Last use: new construction. 

By bombs the building was further destroyed in the second world war. Last use: Jewish community center with synagogue
