Church

The Bornplatz Synagogue was a synagogue located in the Grindel district of Hamburg. It was inaugurated in 1906 and was one of the largest synagogues in Germany. It served as the main synagogue of the German-Israelite Community (German: Deutsch-Israelitischen Gemeinde (DIG)). During Kristallnacht, on November 9, 1938, the synagogue was destroyed. It was set on fire shortly afterwards and the ruins were demolished later that year by the local Nazi authorities. 50 years following its destruction, the former site was redesigned, and has since had a floor mosaic point towards the location of its former site. Since 2019, the Jewish community in the area, the Central Council of Jews in Germany, and several other organizations have advocated for the synagogue's reconstruction. In February 2020, an application for a feasibility study was approved unanimously by the Hamburg Parliament.
