Alte Synagoge

Heilbronn, Germany · built 1938

The Heilbronn Synagogue was a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Heilbronn, in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The synagogue, located on Allee and constructed from local sandstone, was designed by Stuttgart architect Adolf Wolff in the Moorish Revival style and is regarded as the high point in the Neo-Orientalism phase in synagogue construction. The synagogue was completed in 1877 and demolished in 1940 following desecration by Nazis during Kristallnacht in November 1938. A memorial stone and a sculpture are located on the site of the former synagogue.
