    The part with the recreated layout of the old synagogue as a water surface is beautiful and important. The rest of the square looks empty. But somehow that fits.
    Of course, the complete reconstruction including new Jewish life in Freiburg would be even nicer. But some things can't be fixed. Quite apart from the murdered.
    The square benefited from the traffic calming. A few years ago there was a 4-lane road in front of the university library and the city theater.

      The square was given its current name in 1996 after the synagogue that was destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 and built in the southwest of today's square in 1869/1870.

        Right next to the new university library is the Synagogenplatz, with the large Brunner, which reproduces the shape of the old synagogue, which was completely destroyed in the Reichsprognomnacht. Incidentally, the city theater next door is reflected in the library facade.
