Old Synagogue Krakow am See

In Krakow am See you will find one of the few synagogues in north-eastern Germany still preserved in its original form, as well as a Jewish cemetery.

On December 12, 1866, the synagogue was solemnly consecrated by 110 members of the community.
In 1920, it was sold to the town because the Jewish community had dwindled considerably. It was then used as a gymnasium for many years until it was opened to the public in 1995 after extensive renovation work.

Today it is home to the cultural department of the town of Krakow am See and the "Old Synagogue" cultural association. Exhibitions, concerts and readings take place regularly in the former prayer hall.
