Adelsheim Synagogue
"A new house of worship was inaugurated at 1 Tanzbergstrasse/Untere Austrasse; the grand Duke of Baden facilitated the process by providing the community with a grant...Later, on Pogrom Night, the synagogue’s interior was destroyed and the Torah scrolls were burned in public...In 1939, the municipality appropriated the synagogue. The building was used as a youth club after World War II and later for agricultural purposes. A memorial plaque was unveiled there in 2005."
