Synagogue (Bleicherode)
The synagogue in Bleicherode , a town in the Nordhausen district in Thuringia , was built between 1880 and 1882. The synagogue was on Obergebraer Strasse, on the corner with Gartenstrasse. It was burned to the ground by the National Socialists on November 9, 1938 during the November 1938 pogroms .
history
The neo-Romanesque building, financed by donations, was built under the direction of building officer Edwin Oppler from Hanover . In 1879 he had built an almost identical synagogue in Hameln . On June 1, 1882, the synagogue was inaugurated by the Bleicherode country rabbi Philipp Heidenheim and burned down by SA men in 1938 in the context of the November pogroms in 1939 . After that, the synagogue property came into the possession of the city of Bleicherode. The synagogue ruins were demolished in the 1950s.
Commemoration
In 1986 a memorial stone with the inscription was placed on the site of the destroyed synagogue: “This is where the synagogue of the Jewish community of Bleicherode stood. It was burned to the ground by fascists in the night of the pogrom on November 9, 1938. "
