The '''Grand Synagogue of Nuremberg''', opened in 1874 and destroyed in 1938, was the third synagogue in [[Nuremberg]], and was built after the plans of Adolf Wolff.

== Previous synagogues in Nuremberg ==
The first medieval age synagoge stood on the site of today's [[Frauenkirche, Nuremberg|Frauenkirche]] at the Hauptmarkt, and it was destroyed during the anti-Jewish [[pogrom]]s of 1349. A second one was located at the Wunderburggasse, and was destroyed in 1499 during another pogrom.

The synagogue connected elements of Christian church architecture with oriental decoration, and symbolized the integration of Jews into the city's society after a 400-year ban on Judaism. Also, the synagogue was cherished by tourists, and was called the ''Perle in der Silhouette und Zierde der Stadt'' ("pearl in the skyline and adornment of the town").

== Post-war era ==
After the war ended, the city of Nuremberg did not decide to reconstruct the synagogue, in spite of the area being not overbuilt and available for construction work. Also, the winning entry of Nuremberg's 1947 architectural competition - intended to gather the best plans on how to rebuild the city - did not envision a synagogue on its original premises. [[Heinz Schmeißner]], who won the prize, was also the city's official for surface construction from 1937 to 1945, and thus he also formally oversaw the destruction of the synagogue.
