Constructed between 1859 and 1866, the synagogue is notable for its Moorish Revival architecture inspired by the Alhambra, featuring a distinctive dome. The building was designed by Eduard Knoblauch and later worked on by Friedrich August Stüler. It served as a major place of worship for the Jewish community before sustaining damage during Kristallnacht and World War II bombings.
The synagogue underwent restoration in the late 20th century and currently functions as a museum and monument dedicated to Jewish heritage and culture. It hosts exhibitions, guided tours, and educational programs focused on Jewish history and the building's significance.
The site is recognized as a cultural heritage landmark and is wheelchair accessible. It combines the roles of a historic place of worship with that of a museum, preserving regional Jewish heritage through its architecture and curated displays.
