History of the Görlitz Synagogue

Every Thursday at 3 p.m., a guided tour takes visitors through the Görlitz Synagogue. The focus is on the history of the early-20th-century building and the human stories bound up with it.

The tour explores how the synagogue survived the Night of Pogroms, why the Star of David has floated at eye level with the church steeple crosses since 1911 - and how Jewish life returned to Görlitz after 400 years.

Venue: Kulturforum Görlitzer Synagoge

About the venue: Kulturforum Synagoge Görlitz

The Synagoge Görlitz is a late-historicist synagogue built in 1911, one of the few in Germany to survive the November 1938 pogroms largely intact. After decades of neglect following World War II, the building has been gradually restored and now serves as a cultural forum hosting concerts, exhibitions, and public events. Its ornate interior with original decorative elements makes it a striking backdrop for cultural programming.
