Freudental synagogue
The Freudental Synagogue was a synagogue in Freudental in the Ludwigsburg district in northern Baden-Württemberg .
After the local rule of the Zobel von Giebelstadt accepted Jews in Freudental from 1723, the first synagogue of the Jewish community of Freudental was built in the 1730s. This first synagogue fell a little later, however, to the machinations of the Jewish court factor David Ullmann. Ullmann had been installed by the Duke of Württemberg and lived in the castle , but exercised an unauthorized and self-interested regime over the Jewish community and neglected the maintenance of the synagogue until it fell into disrepair. Following complaints from the Jewish community, in 1770 the Württemberg government supported the construction of today's larger, early classicist hall building with high hollow vaults in the so-called Huguenot style . Until 1938 the building was used by the Jewish community for church services. During the pogrom on November 10, 1938, the interior was completely destroyed. However, the fire that was set was extinguished. The building was later used as a sports hall and warehouse.
The building was renovated in the 1980s. Today the “Pedagogical-Cultural Center Former Synagogue Freudental eV” is located in the building.
