"The synagogue’s address is not mentioned, but the evidence indicates that it was located at 25 Stiegelgasse. It was there, too, that the community inaugurated a Moorishstyle synagogue in 1840; in 1865, the congregation decided to introduce an organ into the service...The synagogue was destroyed on Pogrom Night. Sold in April 1939, the damaged structure was eventually converted into a residential building."
