Sunday, Tevet 15, 5779. December 23, 2018.

Ulm - Germany.

Shalom! World.

German architects Kister Scheithauer Gross used Jewish symbol the Star of David to create patterned windows in the limestone walls of  this Synagogue in Ulm, Germany. The town's original Synagogue was torn down in 1938 as  part of the Kristallnacht, or "night of broken glass", a series of attacks on Jewish community buildings  within Nazi Germany. "This position is historical," said architect Susanne Gross. In the Kristallnacht in 1938, the former Synagogue was destroyed. 


After World War II, a secular building was constructed in the space. The Synagogue and  the Jewish community lost its ancestral place in the centre of Ulm. "The construction of the current Synagogue has opened a new site, in the middle of the square," she added. It is though the Synagogue has taken a step forward from its former position, it has reclaimed its location. "Both Synagogue and a Jewish community centre are contained within the cube, which stands apart from other buildings and faces out onto the town square. "With no constructed borders, it stands abrupt and solitary on the Weinhof." said Gross. 



In front the new Synagogue in Ulm, Germany, Baden-Württenberg is a memorial for the killed Jewish citizens during the Holocaust located.



Shalom! Aleichem.
