Built in 1899, Roonstrasse Synagogue, located in Cologne, Germany, is one of the five pre-Nazi synagogues of the locality, which was destroyed on November 9, 1938 during nation-wide attacks on Jewish-owned property (Kristallnacht) when Germany was under Nazi rule. The synagogue was subsequently rebuilt during the 1950s. It is currently a center of Jewish community of Cologne, and consists of a community center, a small display of items associated with Cologne Jewry, and a kosher restaurant. The interior of the reconstructed synagogue has a vast blue dome.
The Erfurt Synagogue in Erfurt, Germany, was built around 1100AD. It is thought to be the oldest synagogue building still standing in Europe. It is currently used as a museum and permanently houses the Erfurt Treasure.
