Soetern Synagogue
"Soetern’s modern Jewish community established...a synagogue (at 30 Hopstaedten) in 1840... On Pogrom Night, Jews were forced to destroy the synagogue’s interior and its ritual objects... The synagogue was remodeled as a combined residential and commercial building after the war."
