The New Synagogue on Oranienburger Straße was, when it opened in 1866 in front of a crowd that included a young Otto von Bismarck, the largest and most magnificent synagogue in Germany — a soaring, fifty-meter gold dome visible across much of central Berlin, seating over 3,000 worshippers. It's one of the few synagogues in the city that actually survived Kristallnacht in November 1938, thanks to a local police officer who ordered the fire brigade to put out the flames the Nazis had set.
Allied bombing in 1943 did what Kristallnacht hadn't, and much of the building was later demolished. What stands today is a careful reconstruction of the street-facing dome, towers, and entrance, completed in 1995 — genuinely striking, but worth knowing it's not the full original structure behind that golden façade.
Elsewhere on the route, Otto Weidt's workshop tells a quieter, more personal story: a brush-and-broom manufacturer who employed blind and deaf Jewish workers, bribed Gestapo officers, and falsified documents to delay their deportation for as long as he could. He wasn't able to save everyone — many of his workers were still deported during a roundup in early 1943 — but his small workshop on Rosenthaler Straße remains one of Berlin's most human-scale Holocaust-era stories.
