Synagogue

Between 1806 and 1808, the Essen community grew rapidly and had a new synagogue built. By the end of the 1860s, the synagogue was already too small and the community decided to construct a new building on the same site. The synagogue was planned by the architect Edmund Körner and was intended to express the integration and recognition of the Jews in the Germany of the second empire. 

The Düsseldorf Jewish community was able to inaugurate the synagogue in Kasernenstraße as early as 1787. However, it proved to be too small within a short time. Since the Jewish community was put on an equal footing with the rest of the city's population in political terms in the middle of the 19th century, the synagogue community officially came into being and work began on erecting a new building for the synagogue on the same site.

Already in the 14th century Jews lived in Detmold, who received letters of protection against payment, which secured their permanent settlement. The oldest preserved letter of protection dates back to the year 1500.

The Jewish community in Detmold used the half-timbered synagogue on Exterstraße from 1742 to 1905. At the beginning of the 20th century, the synagogue was built in Lortzingstraße and the old synagogue was sold to innkeeper Wilhelm Schwindt for 19,000 marks.
