Synagogue

The Jüdische Kultusgemeinde Dresden e.V. is a liberal Hasidic-Jewish community founded in September 2021 in Dresden-Neustadt. It sees itself as a young, lively and egalitarian community in which different people can come into contact with each other.

Since September 3, 2023, it has had its own shtiebel prayer room in a historic building on the site of the old Leipzig train station. In Yiddish, shtiebel means ‚small room‘ and goes back to pre-modern Jewish community meeting places in Eastern Europe.

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.
