The Old Synogogue, Alte Synagoge, was the first and only synogogue in Berlin for about 150 years, until the year 1866.
Cornerstone was set May 9, 1712 and the "housewarming" took place September 14, 1714.
The synogogue survive Kristallnacht but endured damage during the war.
Today, in its place, is a public park, with sculptures by the Jewish sculptor Ingeborg Hunzinger and a plaque with the synogogue's history.
