List of former synagogues in the Palatinate
The following list shows the former synagogues of the Palatinate, on the one hand the destroyed buildings as well as the buildings in the area of the Palatinate that are used for other purposes today .
Some of the synagogues were able to avoid the destruction by the National Socialists during the November pogroms in 1938 . The preserved houses of worship are mostly buildings that had often been abandoned by their communities decades before, or whose destruction was not or only incompletely carried out due to the proximity to neighboring houses.
