Other attractions in Hagenow
Old Synagogue Hagenow
● Hagenow
The community buildings of the former Hagenow Jewish community have been part of the museum since 2001. Built in Hagenstraße in 1828, the ensemble around the synagogue is unique in Mecklenburg. The front building housed the religious school with teachers' and janitors' apartments as well as the ritual bath (mikvah). The imposing synagogue and the carriage shed stand in the courtyard. Although the interior of the synagogue was destroyed in the pogrom night of 1938, the substance of the buildings was preserved and they were extensively restored between 2004 and 2009. The permanent exhibition "Traces of Jewish life in Hagenow and West Mecklenburg" has been on display in the front building, now the Hanna Meinungen House, since 2010. In addition to three special exhibitions of art and photography, the Old Synagogue regularly hosts concerts, lectures and cultural events.
