ehemalige Synagoge

The former synagogue in Bruttig, a village district of Bruttig-Fankel in the Cochem-Zell district of Rhineland-Palatinate, was built in 1835 and is one of the few surviving Jewish religious buildings in the Moselle region. The modest Biedermeier-style structure stands at Mühlenbachstraße 10 as a protected cultural monument, a quiet remnant of the once-active Jewish community in rural western Germany. The Jewish inhabitants of these small Moselle communities were driven out and murdered during the Nazi period; the building's survival makes it a site of memory rather than active worship. For visitors traveling the Moselle valley, it offers an understated but historically significant glimpse into local Jewish history beyond the larger, better-known memorial sites.
