Pestalozzistrasse Synagogue

The Pestalozzistrasse Synagogue (German: Synagoge Pestalozzistraße) is a liberal Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 14–15 Pestalozzistraße, in the Bezirk of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, in Berlin, Germany.^[1]

The synagogue was commissioned by Betty Sophie Jacobsohn and was built between 1911 and 1913; the architect was Ernst Dorn. It was at first independent, but in 1919 joined the Jüdischen Gemeinde zu Berlin.^[2]

The structure was severely damaged on the night of 9–10 November 1938, "Kristallnacht", but was not set on fire.^[2] Renovation work was begun shortly after the end of the Second World War,^[2] and the synagogue was re-dedicated on 14 September 1947.^[3]

Prayer services are accompanied by organ and choir. Much of the music used for the services was composed by Louis Lewandowski.^[2]
