The new Bornplatz Synagogue is becoming a reality.
The new building of the Bornplatz Synagogue is a symbol of hope for the future of Jewish life in Germany. At the same time, it stands as a memorial to the original Bornplatz synagogue which was looted and destroyed during the Kristallnacht's pogrom in November 1938.
More than 100,000 signatures have been collected from supporters for the reerection of the Bornplatz Synagogue in Hamburg. Since this campaign, it is certain that the new synagogue is widely supported within the local community and beyond. This place of worship will be right in the middle of Hamburg and will be open for all people of this city.
The new Bornplatz Synagogue is intended to be a place of religion, education, remembrance and engagement. It will stand as a landmark for the cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism as well as the unique Jewish identity of our city.
