    On the square "An der Alten Synagoge" stands the Jewish memorial, made of yellow and red bricks, created by the Danish artist Per Kirkeby in 1993.
    It commemorates the site of the synagogue destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938 and the Jewish community subsequently wiped out in Paderborn.

    Around 1800, the Jewish community of Paderborn built a synagogue and a school building in Padergasse. When this became dilapidated, the Jewish community acquired a plot of land on the Busdorf-Immunität in December 1860. After the Jewish school was built and a neighboring plot of land was purchased, the new synagogue in the Moorish style was inaugurated in August 1882. It was prominently featured by an octagonal central building (octagon) made of bricks and onion domes, and it had space for 190 men and 103 women.
