... Nice view of the dome of the synagogue of Hornburg... the only part of the ceiling that is preserved in the museum’s Judaica collection... in the center of the synagogue ceiling there was an interior dome, painted blue... on the lower rim of the dome there is a painted balustrade... the four painted posts of the baulstrade support four vases of flowers... the Judaica collection in the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum comprises more than 1,000 objects and is among the historically most important collections of this kind in Germany... one of the exhibition highlights is the almost completely preserved Baroque interior of a small town synagoge, a rural community, which has been part of the Judaica collection since 1922... which miraculously survived the Third Reich... with great stamps and special postmarksđź‘Ť... Thanks once more Dustin! ❀◕ ‿ ◕❀
The synagogue in Hornburg was built in the years 1762 - 1763. The building stopped functioning as a synagogue in 1882, as there were fewer than ten Jewish adults in Hornburg. The death of the last Jew in Hornburg was in 1923.
In 1924, the synagogue’s interior (the Torah ark, bimah, women's gallery, benches, wooden plaques, interior dome, etc.) and ritual objects were transferred to the Vaterländische Museum (located in the Aegidien church) in Braunschweig.
