Synagogue (Lommersum)
The former synagogue in Lommersum , part of the community of Weilerswist in the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia , was built in 1904 and is located at Zunftgasse 9. The building is a listed building .
history
The simple synagogue was built in 1904 and sold as early as the 1920s because the Jewish community of Lommersum had become too small to have the minyan needed for worship .
The building only housed a prayer room and probably no women's gallery . After the synagogue was sold, the new owner set up a shoemaker's workshop . In recent years the building has been used as a storage room and has since been renovated by the new owners.
architecture
The synagogue is a gable-independent single-storey brick building on a rectangular floor plan. The gable roof is covered with clay pans. The entrance door is in the middle of the left eaves side . The facade on the street side has two rectangular windows with a horizontal lintel and a sandstone bed . There is an ocular with sandstone walls in the gable triangle . Corner pilasters protrude above the eaves height . A central pillar crowns the gable. There is a multi-profiled eaves cornice under the gable .
