The Bornplatz Synagogue Foundation announced this on Thursday evening in Hamburg. The architectural competition for the new building will be financed with the money distributed over the years 2024 and 2025, explained the chairman of the board of trustees Daniel Sheffer.
A bunker must be demolished
The competition should start this year. The funds were also used to prepare for the demolition of the bunker that the National Socialists had built on the site of the former synagogue.
A feasibility study was presented last year that contained several models for rebuilding the synagogue.
The building on Bornplatz, today’s Joseph-Carlebach-Platz, which opened in 1906, was the largest Jewish place of worship in northern Germany. During the November pogroms of 1938, the neo-Romanesque domed building was devastated by the Nazis and later demolished.
