The "old synagogue" is now the House of Jewish Culture in Essen and is located in the former synagogue building of the Jewish community in Essen. The building is in the middle of the city, just before the town hall gallery.

Further information on the history can be found on Wikipedia: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Synagoge_(Essen)
and also on the city of Essen's website: essen.de/leben/kultur_/alte_synagoge/alte_synagoge_startseite.de.html

One of the few synagogues that survived the so-called Reichskristallnacht. Today Museum for Jewish Culture.

The Old Synagogue, the cultural institute of the city of Essen, is located in the former synagogue building of the Jewish community in Essen. The architectural work of art is one of the largest and most architecturally significant free-standing synagogue buildings in Europe from the early 20th century. It is a unique cultural monument.
Exhibition areas on Jewish, German-Jewish history and contemporary Jewish culture await you. Current events complement the offerings of a lively cultural venue.
