    The synagogue in Homburg, the district capital of the Saarpfalz district in Saarland, was established in 1860 in the former Franciscan church (built between 1697 and 1699). The only thing that remains is the ruin of the synagogue at Klosterstrasse 6, which is protected as a monument.
    In 1860, the Jewish community of Homburg bought the building and converted it into a synagogue. It was damaged in the November pogrom of 1938 and destroyed in air raids during the Second World War.

    In 1860, the Jewish community of Homburg bought the building and converted it into a synagogue. It was damaged during the November pogrom of 1938 and destroyed during air raids during the Second World War.

    In 1952, the building was largely demolished and since then only as a ruin. On the street side, the surrounding wall of the ground floor is preserved with a pointed arched window and a portal with pointed arch skylight. From the back wall are still the ground floor with two windows and the first floor with arched windows and the side walls.
