The synagogue in Voehl is a well-preserved building from 1827 with a gallery and vaulted ceiling. The interior was completely destroyed on the night of the pogrom in 1938. Today, events are held in this former sacred space; the adjoining rooms house a museum and a library about Judaism.
Reconstruction of the interior of the synagogue
The sacred room of the synagogue lost its interior furnishings in 1938. It was destroyed. With augmented reality, the former impression of the room can be recreated.
Augmented reality is a digital extension of reality. The video (1:03min), was produced by the Landkulturboten 2021 Andre Stremmel and Erik Peper in 2021.
Erik Peper worked with the programme "Adobe Photoshop®" and, based on a photo, gave the sacred space back its original room setup.
Museum in the synagogue
The museum shows aspects of Jewish culture and way of life. The exhibition rooms are the former living quarters of the synagogue. Part of the museum is the sacred space of the synagogue.
