Synagogue - Mainz (Mayence, Magonza, Maguncia, Moguncja, Mohuč , Magentsa, Määnz, מיינץ, Mogontiacum), Rhineland-Palatinate

"Mainz’s Jewish community opened...a larger one in 1673, the latter of which was enlarged and renovated in 1717 and again in 1773 (it was eventually converted into a community center)... The Orthodox synagogue was demolished in 1939/40, after which services took place in the community center (2, Forsterstrasse) until the deportations."
