history

An architectural competition was held to create a community center with a synagogue, school, and community administration for the Orthodox Jewish community . Finally the brothers Sándor and Béla Löffler got the job. In 1928 another ritual bath was set up in the community center. The buildings, badly damaged during the Second World War , were soon rebuilt.
