Bingen Synagogue

Synagogue - Bingen, Rhineland-Palatinate

"In 1871, after an organ was installed in the synagogue, the town’s Orthodox Jews decided to create a separate community with their own rabbi and prayer hall (the latter was dedicated in 1876). In 1905, the mainstream community built a larger synagogue—218 seats for men, 171 for women and 60 Torah scrolls—at 10-12 Rochusstrasse...On Pogrom Night, rioters wrecked the Rochusstrasse synagogue, after which the building was set on fire...The synagogue ruins were sold to a local group of residents who opened a wine shop in the damaged building... In 1983, a memorial plaque was unveiled at the site of the former Rochusstrasse synagogue."
