history

1995 dated memorial stone "in memory of our Jewish fellow citizens "

After various Jews from Eldagsen had already bought the site for the local Jewish cemetery in 1753 , the synagogue community of Eldagsen built their church more than 100 years later by 1867. Although the interior was not yet completed at the time, it was already in place at that time as "[...] one of the most handsome buildings on Langenstrasse", in which the house numbers - as in all other streets of the city - were renumbered in 1909. A classroom was also set up in the building and an apartment was provided for the teacher.

In 1910 the people of the Jewish faith made up 48 people or around 4 percent of the total population of Eldagsen, a religious community about the same size as that of the Catholics .

Information board of the Eldagsen Urban History Working Group on the building dated 2008 as station 4 of the
Lower Town Historical Circuit

After the National Socialists seized power , the synagogue was “damaged” during the so-called “ Reichskristallnacht ” on November 10, 1938 and - in the middle of World War II - finally sold in 1940.

In 1948 the local Catholic parish leased the former synagogue and consecrated the building as the Joseph Chapel . At the end of the 1950s, the entire building was converted into a residential building.

In the 1985 volume of the monument topography of the Federal Republic of Germany for the southern part of the former district of Hanover , for which an inventory was also made for the building fabric of Eldagsen, the former synagogue was not taken into account and not designated as a monument . However, the location in the lower town , as well as the area of ​​the upper town of Eldagsen, is part of the "monument preservation area of ​​interest".

Since 1995 there has been a memorial stone dated this year in front of the house with the inscription : In memory of our Jewish fellow citizens of the city of Eldagsen.

In 2008, another information board was attached to the former synagogue - as station 4 of a historical circular path in the Lower Town designed by the Eldagsen City History Working Group .

Remarks

  1. In the section on the introduction (page 5f.) In the chronicle of the city written during the term of office by various mayors of the city of Eldagsen and others up to around 1926 and reprinted in 1984 , the district director refers, among other things, to the fact that the “[.. .] old chronicle Eldagsen [...] reflects its own contemporary history and not the current state of knowledge [...] ”. Although exact details are hardly given, the more recent, "current state of knowledge" of the chronicle of the town of Eldagsen, which was not yet updated at the time, obviously relates primarily to the Middle Ages .
