Michiel 2005's photos with the keyword: old synagogue

From 1714 to 1938 there was a synagogue on this spot. It was burnt down by the nazis in the Kristallnacht in 1938. The Jewish community had to pay to remove the rubble in 1939.

The oldest parts date back to 1094AD. After the pogrom of 1349 the Synagogue was used as a warehouse. In the 19th century it was converted into a restaurant. In 1992 it was discovered that this was the first synagogue of Erfurt. Now it is a museum.
