Inauguration of the Potsdam synagogue center with top -class guests

A new chapter for the Jewish community in Potsdam

The inauguration of the new synagogue in Potsdam next Thursday marks a significant milestone for the Jewish community in the region. Among the prominent Guests who are expected for ceremony, are located for ceremony and Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The establishment of this synagogue center, which is completed after almost three years of construction, is a significant step for four Jewish communities. After the old synagogue was destroyed in 1945, the municipalities had previously had to prevent services. The new center now offers a place for religious and cultural activities.

The state of Brandenburg has invested a total of 17.5 million euros as a client for the project. Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke will also be present at the opening. He emphasized the historical responsibility of the country to contribute to promoting a diverse Jewish life.

The inauguration of the synagogue is not only seen as a symbolic act of revival, but also as a clear message against any forms of hatred and agitation, which Jews are repeatedly exposed. It should be a place of openness, tolerance and the common belief.

The presence of Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at the ceremonial ceremony underlines the importance of this event. As a resident of the Brandenburg state capital Potsdam, she is committed to a culture of respect and diversity.
