The New Synagogue ( German: Leo Baeck Saal) is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located at Zietenstraße 50, in Düsseldorf, in the Golzheim district of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. [2]
The first synagogue, built in 1905, [3] with approximately 1,000 seats, was pillaged and burned by SA men during the Kristallnacht in 1938. [4]
Designed by Hermann Zvi Guttmann, the current synagogue was inaugurated in September 1958 [4] and is named in honour of Rabbi Leo Baeck, who served as a pulpit rabbi in Düsseldorf. [5]
On October 2, 2000, two Arab immigrants committed an arson attack against the synagogue, and the building was firebombed with three Molotov cocktails. [6] Although the perpetrators remained unknown for over two months, most media suspected the attack was done by far-right antisemites. [6] [7] The following day, Paul Spiegel, leader of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, called for a clear sign of solidarity with the Jewish victims. [7]
The perpetrators, a 20-year-old Palestinian, and a 19-year-old Moroccan, were identified and arrested on December 6, 2000. [6] Both admitted they wanted to protest against the Israeli occupation policy through the attack. [6]
Since 2000, there is a constant[ clarification needed] police watch over the synagogue.
