Der Bürresheimer Hof diente der jüdischen Kultusgemeinde Koblenz von 1851 bis 1938 als Synagoge und Gemeindehaus. Die Zerstörung des Gotteshauses am Morgen des 10. Nov. 1938 durch die Nationalsozialisten war sichtbares Zeichen für die Erniedrigung und Verfolgung der jüdischen Bürger und Bürgerinnen unserer Stadt. Sie endet mit der Deportation in die Vernichtungslager, die nur wenige überlebten.
In Remembrance
The Bürresheimer Hof served the Jewish community of Koblenz as a synagogue and community center from 1851 to 1938. The destruction of the house of worship by the National Socialists on the morning of November 10, 1938, was a visible sign of the humiliation and persecution of our city’s Jewish citizens. This culminated in deportation to the extermination camps, which few survived.
