The Ohel Jakob Synagogue stands out on Sankt-Jakobs-Platz for its distinct two-part structure. A heavy, windowless base of travertine stone, designed to recall the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, supports a light-filled glass cube wrapped in a bronze metal veil. This upper section represents a tent, a symbol for the forty-year journey of the Israelites through the desert.
