The synagogue was commissioned by Betty Sophie Jacobsohn and was built between 1911 and 1913; the architect was Ernst Dorn. It was at first independent, but in 1919 joined the
Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Berlin. The structure was severely damaged on the night of 9–10 November 1938, "
Kristallnacht", but was not set on fire. Renovation work was begun shortly after the end of the
Second World War, Prayer services are accompanied by
organ and
choir. Much of the music used for the services was composed by
Louis Lewandowski. == See also ==
