2022.4.29 It was on my way to downtown. According to wiki, it "is one of the largest, best preserved and architecturally most impressive testimonies to Jewish culture in pre-war Germany." In 1913, it was the new synagogue. There was a police car parked near by.

I visited the Alte Synagoge for a cultural event. It was a pleasant journey through the Tango's lifetime. Miguel Wolf presented his attitude toward Tango and how he encountered it.

It was very interesting for me as I was not familiar with Jewish beliefs before. The synagoge is gorgeous and you are free to explore all floors (for free) and stay as long as you like. There are also exibitions on each floor. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Really interesting! The museum inside is very modern done, lots of things to see and do. There is a wall with famous people that have some kind of Jewish relation, and you are able to see and learn some traditional Jewish dances. This was really fun to do.

It's a very well maintained place. The exhibition is free and has a lot of things to offer about Jewish history and culture. You should keep at least 1 hour to see this place.
