Since 1983, a memorial stele in its place (Krumme Straße 15) commemorates the fate of the house and the Jewish community in Grötzingen.

On the synagogue property in Kronenstraße, which was closed off with a wall of limestone ashlars, a bronze memorial plaque was installed in 1963 to mark the 25th anniversary of the destruction of the synagogue. Today, the empty square is characterized mainly by the five poplars planted here.

During the November pogrom of 1938, fire was set in the synagogue building by unknown SA men. The Mühringen fire department, alerted by neighbors, was able to extinguish the fire, which had been set in the area of the Torah shrine, a short time later. Torah shrine as well as part of the benches and windows were destroyed by the fire. Some of the cult objects could be saved by the Jews still living in Mühringen. In June 1943, the synagogue became the property of the Horb tax office, which rented it to the Mauser arms factory for a warehouse of rifle stocks.

In 2013/2015, the town hall square was redesigned and the infrastructure renewed. Since then, the redesigned square offers an open area to the west in the area of the former synagogue and a recessed, quiet square to the west and north of the Old Town Hall. The western town hall square is now characterized by a grove of small-crowned trees with seating and the memorial to the former synagogue. A white line of granite traces the walls of the former synagogue. The inauguration of the redesigned Town Hall Square was May 9, 2015.
