The Fasanenstrasse Synagogue was a former liberal Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was located at 79–80 Fasanenstrasse off Kurfürstendamm, in the affluent neighbourhood of Charlottenburg, in Berlin, Germany.[1] Completed on 26 August 1912, the synagogue was located close to the Berlin Stadtbahn and Zoo Station.
Closed by the Nazis in 1936, the synagogue was partially destroyed on Kristallnacht in 1938, and further devastated in 1943 during World War II, the result of an Allied air raid.
