Wollenberg Synagogue
"In order to accommodate the growing Jewish community, a new synagogue—the building contained a school and an apartment for the teacher—was built on Deinhardstrasse in 1825...The synagoguewas destroyed on Pogrom Night, after which the remaining Jews were not only forced to transfer ownership of the site, free of charge, to the town authorities, but also to pay for the removal of the rubble...The remaining ruins of the synagogue were removed in 1965; in 1971, the site was sold to neighboring landowners."
