De Opgang

The synagogue was designed as a simple brick building with a gable roof and pointed arched windows. The building was expanded in 1909. During the Second World, the synagogue was used as a storage space but the building itself remained relatively unscathed. The building has been owned by the municipality of Emmen since 1974. It was renovated in 1975 and subsequently in 1993. It is the only active Jewish shul in the province of Drenthe. The interior of the synagogue consists of a wooden vaulted ceiling, Torah ark, bimah and benches, which all date back to the original date of construction of the synagogue. The current women's gallery was added during the renovations of 1909. Two white marble plaques, positioned against the walls of the synagogue, commemorate the Jewish citizens of Emmen who died during the Second World War.
