history
After the wooden synagogue fell victim to a fire in 1793, the Auscha Jewish community built a follow-up building made of local sandstone a year later . It was changed several times over the years and was used for church services until the 1930s .
The synagogue building survived the era of National Socialism almost undamaged. From the end of the 1990s, the building that now serves as a museum was renovated.
