Synagogue

The synagogue was built in 1907 by the Jewish community Bodenbach in Art Nouveau style with Moorish elements. Previously, services were held in premises provided by private individuals.

By the Münchner Abkommen of September 29, 1938, the Sudeten German territories were seceded from Czechoslovakia and incorporated into the German Reich. After this event and due to the pogrom night organized by the National Socialist regime on November 8-9, 1938, the Jüdische community in Děčín - Podmokly ceased to exist.

Zamość is a special city in its history and culture. Its founder - Jan Zamoyski, Great Ottoman of the Polish Crown – wanted the city to become perfect both in its arrangement and social composition. In order to promote the economic development of the city, he recruited merchants and specialized craftsmen – Armenians, Greeks and Jews –. The testimony of this great multicultural past of the city is the Renaissance synagogue, which is preserved to this day. Immediately after its construction, Jews settled in the city.

The Ez Chaim Synagogue was the largest orthodox synagogue in Saxony from 1922 to 1938. It was located in the inner western suburb of Leipzig in a small, inconspicuous alley called Apels Garten. In 1920, the Leipzig Talmud-Thora Association acquired the property. There was already a hall on the site, which had been used as a bicycle and gymnasium in previous years. The hall remained standing and, with the financial support of the fur merchant Chaim Eitingon (1857-1932), the architect Johann Gustav Pflaume (d. 1930) was commissioned to convert the gymnasium into a synagogue. 

The synagogue, built in 1863, was completely destroyed by fire in 1893. It was rebuilt between 1895 and 1896 on the former Gartenstraße (today Roosevelt-Straße). In the Reichspogromnacht 09-10 November 1938 it was probably only looted, but not set on fire. In 1945 a place of worship of the Greek Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was established in the synagogue, which exists to this day.

This is currently the only preserved synagogue in the Olsztyn district.

The construction of the first synagogue in Memel was initiated and financed in 1835 by the lumbermen Mordechai Wasbutzki and Meir Lifschitz. It was a square building with an entrance on the side of Synagogenstr. In the spring of 1939, after the Memel area was rejoined to Germany, the destruction took place. The area has not been rebuilt until the present.
Note: Sometimes there is the designation Polish School or also prayer house (Because there was only one official synagogue was allowed to exist on site).

In 1816 the stone synagogue was built. When in 1914 during World War I large parts of the city burned down, the synagogue building was also badly damaged. Pictures show that only the outer walls were preserved. In 1923 a reconstruction or a new building was planned, but this was not realized due to lack of money. The reconstruction carried out in 1930 retained the outer walls. The (no longer existing) mansard roof with curved gables was replaced by a hip roof 

A large fire  destroyed the entire city center in 1925, including the then wooden synagogue. The subsequently rebuilt synagogue was completed in 1928, with some rebuilding up to 1936.  At the end of June 1941, SS men from nearby Heydekrug locked up Jewish men from the town in the synagogue and later transported them away.

After the war from 1945, the building was used as a cultural center, and later as a warehouse and sports hall. After that, it stood empty for many years. Since 2007, the building has been renovated.

The house of learning was founded by Yisroel (Lipkin) Salanter. The new building was initiated by Rabbi Isaac Rülf, who collected numerous donations. The inauguration took place on September 25, 1875, with great public attention. The opening speech was given by the eminent Taimudist Leibush ben Jechiel Michael Weiser, called Malbim. The Teaching House also called Litvak synagogue was the center of the Jews coming from Lithuania.

The small brick synagogue was built in 1860 in what was then Wormditter Street. On the occasion of the opening, the "Ermländische Aussteuerverein" was founded by those present to support poor Jewish girls. After the turn of the century, the small community could no longer afford a rabbi. The cult officials changed frequently. In 1938 the synagogue was sold to the local Baptist congregation. Nevertheless, during the Reichspogromnacht there was devastation inside the building. During the fighting in the spring of 1945, the building was destroyed, and the remains were later leveled.
