The Hochfelden synagogue is a Monument historique in Hochfelden, in the French departement of Bas-Rhin. The building also serves the role of a museum.[1]
The building is located at Hochfelden's 10 and 12 Général Koenig Square.[2]
History[edit]
There was a synagogue nearby the site's ground during the 17th century, but it fell out of use and a new building was eventually established in 1841.[3] The structure was renovated 1893.[1] It became a monument historique on 10 April 1996, and has been ever since.[4]
The Jewish community was persecuted by local authorities. On 10 January 1799 the municipal government publicly condemned the practice of attending synagogue.[3]
The synagogue also holds a now-defunct Jewish school.[5]
