Synagogue Frenz

The Frenz synagogue was located in the Frenz district in the municipality of Inden in the Düren district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ), Unterstraße 17.

There were Jews in Frenz as early as the early 18th century. It was about the ancestors of Seligmann Meyer, who was born in the village in 1835. On the first floor of his house, which was built around 1790, called the “Synagogue”, there was a prayer room with a domed ceiling . The last service took place there in 1906, as there were fewer than ten religiously mature Jews in the village at that time. So they went to Langerwehe .

The house was badly damaged and demolished during World War II . It was rebuilt after the war, but nothing is reminiscent of the synagogue .
