Koenen Synagogue
"In 1905, a new synagogue was built on Reiniger Strasse...On Pogrom Night, rioters destroyed the synagogue’s interior...The synagogue was transferred into private ownership in 1955 and used as a storage site. In 2002, a special society was founded for the purpose of restoring the synagogue and converting it into a cultural facility."
