Description:
MITTE. The massive golden dome of this synagogue can be seen throughout Mitte. Built in 1866, the synagogue was damaged by fire in 1939 and then again in 1945, during Allied bombings. In the late 1950s, the main room was demolished by order of the Communist leaders of East Berlin, leaving only a portion of the original structure intact. The facility reopened in 1995, following years of extensive renovation, as a museum, research center, and memorial. Its "Open Ye the Gates" permanent exhibit attracts travelers from all over the world. Guided group tours must be requested in writing. All tours are in German except by prior arrangement. Closed on Saturdays and Jewish holidays. S-BAHN: Oranienburger Strasse
