• The building will again serve as a ritually functional prayer house and will host lectures, concerts and educational programs for the wider public.
• Specialists recovered original colors and glasswork, and the Torah ark features a curtain made from textiles by Bauhaus weaver Gunta Stölzl.
• The renovation cost about €14 million, financed roughly 30% each by the federal government, Bavaria and the City of Munich, with the Synagoge Reichenbach association covering the remaining 10%.
