Dobiegniew synagogue

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The synagogue in Woldenberg ( Polish: Dobiegniew ), a town in the Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland , was built in 1858 when about 120 Jews were still living in Woldenberg. In the 1920s, only about 60 Jewish citizens lived in Woldenberg.

It was located at Junkerstrasse 9, at the corner of Brunnenstrasse. In 1924 the cantor Isidor Pionkowski lived at the same address. The synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis on the night of November 9-10, 1938, the night of the Reichspogrom .

Possible further synagogue

It is possible that a former two - room engine shed on the Poznań – Szczecin railway line on Tuwima Street was also used as a synagogue. The line was opened on October 10, 1847 to Woldenburg, the terminus at that time. The brick building has the round arched windows and round windows on the gable ends, which were common for locomotive sheds at the time , which possibly represent an inscribed Star of David . The sources on this are inconsistent, as only a few Jews were left in the region after the Second World War.
