history
The arched synagogue was built by the Bremen architect August Kutzbock (approx. 1814–1868).
After the synagogue, which has since been secularized, served other purposes, it was to be demolished in 1971. Committed citizens prevented this and achieved that the building was moved to James Madison Park.
Since 2011 the synagogue has been used regularly for Jewish services again .
