One of Berlin's most historically important buildings is perhaps the New Syngagogue, built in the 1860s, after the Jewish population in Berlin had grown by leaps and bounds. It was designed in the Moorish style by architect Eduard Knoblauch. The Jewish community wanted it to stand tall and proud, in contrast to the Old Synagogue, built in the early 1700s, hidden in a courtyard and restricted to just one story. It was not destroyed during Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, due to a brave police officer, but was later bombed during World War II. It sat as a ruin for many decades, until the front portion was finally rebuilt in the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. To learn more, take a tour from one of our members!
