The Neue Synagoge: A Historic Jewish Landmark in Berlin

A Symbol of Resilience and Rebirth

The Neue Synagoge (New Synagogue) is one of Berlin's most prominent Jewish landmarks, standing alongside the Jewish Museum and the Holocaust Memorial. Built in the mid-19th century, it was the main place of worship for the Jewish community of Berlin.

A Unified Community

The Jewish Community of Berlin is a unified community, known as an "Einheitsgemeinde." It encompasses eight synagogues, catering to both Ashkenazy-Orthodox and Sephardic traditions. The Neue Synagoge is an integral part of this vibrant Jewish community.

A Center of Jewish Life

The Neue Synagoge is not only a historic building but also a lively center of Jewish life in Berlin. It hosts various exhibitions, lectures, and cultural events, offering a platform for dialogue and understanding.

A Sanctuary of Rememb​​rance

The synagogue's former front hall has been transformed into a small sanctuary known as the Oranienburger Strasse Synagogue. It was re-established in 1998 and serves as a place of remembrance and reflection on the history of the Jewish community in Berlin.
