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
