History and description
On September 16, 1910, the synagogue was inaugurated by the Kreuznach district rabbi Abraham Tawrogi . The synagogue is a simple hall with arched windows. Corner pilaster strips and a rising frieze are the decorative elements.
During the November pogrom in 1938 , the synagogue was demolished and looted. In January 1939 the building was sold to the owner of the neighboring property. Since then it has been used as a storage room or garage. A gate facing the street was broken in and the windows were walled up.
