Synagogenarchitektur in Deutschland

Between 1950 and 1971 in Germany, 26 new synagogues were built. The consecration of the synagogues in Saarbrücken in 1951 marked a construction phase of new synagogues and Jewish community centres throughout Germany. The consecration of the synagogue in Karlsruhe in 1971 brought this phase of relatively few projects to a temporary halt. The buildings from this first phase were designed largely by unknown Jewish and non-Jewish architects. In this context, the questions arise of which architectural models influenced post-war synagogue construction, and whether it is possible to discern the continuation of a synagogue architectural language developed prior to 1931? The importance of this new synagogue architecture in Germany after 1945, and whether the new buildings’ significance was recognized are additional topics in focus.
