The New Synagogue. Built as the main place of worship for Berlin's Jewish community. Designed by Eduard Knoblauch and followed by Friedrich August Stüler. It was inaugurated in the presence of Count Otto von Bismarck, then Minister President of Prussia, in 1866. Because of its eastern Moorish style and resemblance to the Alhambra, the New Synagogue is an important architectural monument in Germany. One of the few synagogues to survive Kristallnacht, it was badly damaged prior to and during World War II and subsequently much was demolished; the present building on the site is a reconstruction of the ruined street frontage with its entrance, dome and towers, and only a few rooms behind. Mitte. Berlin. Germany
