brief description:
situated on Saarbrücken's Beethovenplatz, the synagogue was inaugurated in 1951, a few months after the Jewish community had re-established itself in the Saarland following WW II. The original synagogue, built following designs by local architect Friedrich Mertz and inaugurated in 1890, had fallen prey to destruction during Crystal Night or the Night of Broken Glass - Reichskristallnacht on November 9, 1938
