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 1952, the building was largely demolished and has only existed as a ruin since then. On the street side, the surrounding wall of the ground floor with a pointed arch window and a portal with a pointed arch skylight has been preserved. Of the rear wall, the ground floor with two windows and the first floor with round arch windows as well as the side walls are still standing.
