Synagogue in Laudenbach

The synagogue was originally built in 1730 and is now newly renovated and in liturgical use again. The synagogue consists of a prayer hall, precentor quarters, and bathhouse. A small 18th century building next to the Synagogue, which was the home of a Jewish family until about 1850, is used today for the museum galleries.

The Synagogue in Arnstein is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1819. The eastern wall of the prayer hall above the Torah ark was decorated with a depiction of the Jerusalem Temple. Only upper part of the mural is preserved, showing open curtains and hanging lamps. During the renovation of 1905, the vault of the prayer hall was decorated with Judenstil paintings, including a pair of griffins flanking the semi-circle window in the eastern wall. Each griffin holds a coat of arms. The synagogue was renovated in 2008-2012 and serves now as a cultural center. In use until 1938, this stone synagogue now serves as a cultural centre.

The motorway chapel Gramschatzer Wald is an ecumenical ‘road church’ located east of the Gramschatzer Wald junction of the Federal Motorway 7. The chapel was planned and built by the Regensburg architect Haymo Ruscheinsky. The prayer room was consecrated in 2015. The furniture is completely made of wood. The Regensburg painter Ralf Peinl designed the interior walls of exposed concrete with signs of death and resurrection.
