Brotdorf Synagogue
"Brotdorf Jews maintained...beginning in 1854, a synagogue on 52-54 Hausbacher Strasse... On Pogrom Night, the synagogue’s interior was destroyed, after which the building was set on fire; Jewish homes were wrecked that night. Later, in 1939, the municipality bought the synagogue site... The synagogue ruins—most of which were destroyed in a wartime bombing raid (1944)—were demolished after the war. A memorial stone, unveiled on the corner of Hausbach Strasse and Helenstrasse in 1984, commemorates the destroyed synagogue."
