Ehemalige Synagoge and its collection

Ehemalige Synagoge
Source

The Haigerloch Synagogue suffered severe damage during the November pogroms on the morning of November 10, 1938. This event marked a dark period in the history of the synagogue, as the damage made it impossible to hold religious services.

Current Use of the Haigerloch Synagogue

Today, the former Haigerloch Synagogue serves as a museum and a memorial site. Visitors can learn about the history of the Jewish community in Haigerloch and the region, and pay their respects at the memorial site.

Inauguration of the Museum and its Permanent Exhibition

The museum in the former Haigerloch Synagogue was inaugurated on June 13, 2004. It houses the permanent exhibition 'Tracing Jewish Life in Hohenzollern', which uses original objects and interviews with contemporary witnesses to remember the history of Jews in Haigerloch, Hechingen, and Dettensee.

    The Ehemalige Synagoge in Haigerloch, Germany, is a small but significant museum that offers visitors an insight into the Jewish history of the region. Located in a former synagogue building, the museum provides a sobering look at the local Jewish community's past and the impact of the Holocaust.

    Visitors often appreciate the well-preserved architecture of the synagogue and the informative exhibits that detail Jewish life in Haigerloch before World War II. The museum's displays are noted for being clear and educational, presenting historical artifacts and personal stories that bring the past to life.

    One of the most mentioned aspects is the museum's location in the old Jewish quarter, which allows visitors to explore the surrounding area and get a sense of the Jewish community's former presence in the town. The nearby mikveh (ritual bath) is frequently cited as an interesting additional feature to visit.

    Some visitors find the museum relatively small and wish for more extensive exhibits or English translations. However, most reviewers agree that despite its size, the museum offers a poignant and meaningful experience.

    The staff is generally described as helpful and knowledgeable, often willing to provide additional information to enhance the visit. The museum is seen as an important site for remembrance and education about the Holocaust and local Jewish history.

    While not a large or flashy attraction, the Ehemalige Synagoge is valued for its historical significance and the thoughtful way it presents a difficult period in history.
