Augsburg Synagogue
Synagoge Augsburg
One of Europe's most beautiful synagogues in Art Nouveau style, with the Swabian Jewish Cultural Museum attached.
The synagogue was built between 1913 and 1917, blending Art Nouveau with Oriental elements. Its gold mosaic dome is about 29 meters high. It escaped total destruction during the 1938 Kristallnacht and was restored after the war. It is still used for worship by the Jewish community. The Swabian Jewish Cultural Museum offers access to the synagogue hall. Admission is about 6 euros, a security check is required, and it is closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays.
Opening hours
Tue–Thu 9 am–6 pm, Fri 9 am–4 pm, Sun 10 am–5 pm
