Anti-Jewish sentiments prevented the factory owner Iganz Glaser from establishing a synagogue in 1891. Prof. Gottlieb Winkler bought a private lot of land in 1893 and eventually a house of prayer could be built which was consecrated in 1901. It was a small building with one aisle in the neo-Renaissance style. The interior of the building was completely damaged on Kristallnacht (November 9th, 1938) and possibly set to fire. During the Second World War it was used for storage and unusable after the end of the war.
The synagogue was rebuilt only in 1967/68. The original façade was reconstructed, but the complicated windows were replaced by simple ones modeled after the windows in the Altneuschule synagogue in Prague. The interior is modern with a marble Aron HaKodesh decorated by a parochet from thwe synagogue of Deutschkreutz. The synagogue has 128 places, of them 43 for women’s gallery who have a separate entrance. Annexed to the main building are the offices, a lecture hall, a kitchen and a mikveh.
