Synagogendenkmal

The Synagogue Memorial in Nuremberg commemorates the former main synagogue on Hans-Sachs-Platz, which was demolished in 1938 on the orders of Julius Streicher. The memorial stands at Spitalbrücke near Leo-Katzenberger-Weg and consists of a 1988 relief by Reinhard Heiber depicting the destroyed architecture, along with a memorial stele by August Hofmann from 1970. Here you can gain a sense of the site's historical significance for Nuremberg's Jewish community. To the left of the memorial, a plaque also recalls the murder of Leo Katzenberger.
