Jewish temple of the middle of the XIX century. Surprisingly, the Wehrmacht authorities did not destroy him, but simply closed in 1940, adapted the premises for a warehouse. The synagogue also survived during the bombing, although it was significantly damaged. After the war, they decided not to rebuild the temple, since almost all Jews - potential parishioners were killed under Hitler. The building was demolished in 1958, only the facade remained of it. After the unification of Germany, the synagogue was restored.

The New Synagogue Berlin should not be missed. A visit to this site is a strong reminder of the hate of yesterday and the continued hate today that one may experience. The visit is full of joy in what has been restored and disappointment in knowing.. Read more » what was not restored.
The strange thing is the reliance on photography to remind us of the past contrasted with the restriction of no photography allowed within the Synagogue during your visit. The irony is striking.

Incredible experience! Like much of Jewish culture this place exudes both a joy for life and a sadness of tragic proportions. Visitors may come out with different emotions and revelations about meaning.

A place of memory, history and sadness. Looking at the media shows inside keep you inside a dark age for the humanity. The area kept some remains of the synagogue and shows how big was it. We must not forget.

Amazing museum and architecture. Plan to spend 2-3 hours there. Only problem is there’s just German and English translations.

The synagogue hosts a museum, highly recommended. The audio guide helps to understand the history of Jewish community of Berlin, also the place hosts temporary exhibitions. Exquisite design and historical details await visitor.

I cannot find words describing the weight of history and beauty of this place. The museum is worthy of seeing, and the building itself, every detail of it, a history in itself...

Pretty disappointing experience. They call it “New Synagogue Berlin” but it’s just a museum. The synagogue was destroyed and later rebuilt, but they don’t let you actually go into it.

It was good information regarding Jewish and their existence in Germany. The line was long and the weather was cold.
Overall good place to visit.

Visiting too many museums is not my thing, but if you are interesting in learning how the Jewish people faced the WWII, it's the place to go.

A huge amount of interesting information, so we didn't then go onto the Jewish Museum. Amazing view from outside at the back. I wish we'd actually been able to see more of the synagogue and prayer areas.

Very informative and interesting exhibition on the Jewish community in Berlin particularly before the Second World War. It’s so sad to read about the accounts of discrimination and eventual murders

Unfortunately the synagogue was seriously damaged in the past and nothing left behind. Therefore, our visit was a bit disappointing. It can be visited free of charge on the first Sunday of the month. No prior booking is required.

An amazingly preserved, very important part of the Jewish story of this city. Allow a good few hours to see it all and make sure you get the audio guide, it is well worth it.

If you're interested in Berlin's history, you have to see this place as well. Because the Judish history also a German history. The building is beautiful and hosts also various exhibition.
