History

The Great German Synagogue is one of the three synagogues located in the Ghetto Nuovo (the oldest part of the Venetian Ghetto, established on 29 March 1516),Шаблон:Sfn together with the Scuola Canton and Scuola Italiana. It was built in 1528Шаблон:Sfn[2] by members of the local Ashkenazi community. A stone plaque on the west wall of the building records its construction at the expense of two donors.Шаблон:Sfn Like the other four synagogues in Venice, it was termed a scuola ("School"), rather than sinagoga ("Synagogue"), in the same way in which Ashkenazi Jews refer to the synagogue as the shul (Шаблон:Script) in Yiddish.

The Great German Synagogue was the first public synagogue erected in the Ghetto Nuovo. Together with the nearby Scuola Canton, completed in 1532, it stands as a testament to the influence of the Ashkenazi community in the early years of the Ghetto, before the arrival of the much more affluent Jewish merchants from Spain and the Levant in the 1550s.[3]

Along with the other synagogues of Venice, it ceased to be regularly used in October 1917, when the local Jewish community was forced to disband;Шаблон:Efn at the same time, administration of all the Jewish places of worship was taken over by a single institution, the Templi Israelitici Uniti.Шаблон:Sfn

Architecture
