"Lost Synagogue Unearthed: Munich's 1938 Destruction Revealed"

The remains of Munich's former main synagogue, which was destroyed in 1938 on Adolf Hitler's orders, have been discovered during the renovation of a weir on the Isar. Construction workers found stones decorated with flowers and ornaments that can be linked to the Jewish house of worship. Among the findings were parts of columns and a stone tablet with the Ten Commandments in Hebrew script. The rubble from the demolished synagogue was used for renovation work on the Großhesseloher weir in 1956. The future of the historical stones is uncertain, but there are suggestions of reconstructing the Torah shrine and potentially exhibiting the findings in the Jewish Museum Munich.
