Görlitz Synagogue
Synagoge Görlitz
An Art Nouveau synagogue that survived Kristallnacht and reopened in 2021 as a cultural forum after restoration.
The synagogue was completed in 1911 and is one of the few synagogues in Germany to survive the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938. Its dome and Art Nouveau decoration are distinctive. After decades of restoration, it reopened in 2021 as a Cultural Forum, hosting exhibitions, concerts and guided tours, and it retains a small prayer space. Opening hours are mainly tied to tours and events, so check the official website before setting out. It is on the southern side of the old town, close to the city park.
