Synagogue in Fußgönheim

The Jesuit Church of St. Ignatius and Franz Xaver was built between 1738 and 1760 and designed by Baroque architects such as Alessandro Galli da Bibiena, Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti and Nicolas de Pigage. In 1773, Pope Clement XIV abolished the Jesuit order and the Jesuit church officially became the Church of the Great Court. However, as early as 1778, the church was given to the Lazarists, who themselves had to leave the church in 1794. In 1802, the Jesuit church in Mannheim became the parish church of the city. After the Second World War, the church had to be extensively restored due to bombing.

The church of St. Sebastian is the oldest Catholic parish church in Mannheim, dating from the 18th century. It was first used as a court church by the Elector and was decorated by artists such as Bibiena, Verschaffelt and Egell. The furniture was damaged by alterations in the 19th century and by damage during the Second World War.

The medieval synagogue was dedicated in 1104 and was designed as a Romanesque hall roughly 34 feet wide and 57 feet long. Only the east wall is still remaining and little is known about the interior of the building.
