Destruction of the courtyard synagogue in Detmold: Police checks anti -Semitic background

Detmold, Deutschland - Last weekend, the door of the historic court synagogue in Detmold was damaged again, the authorities report. The Lippe police discovered the heavily destroyed entrance door on Sunday morning, the lower filling of which was severely affected. The incident was reported as property damage, and the existing trace material is currently evaluated. A political background cannot be confirmed at the present time, according to the police.

At the end of September, parts of the listed building were damaged. Since an anti -Semitic motive background cannot be excluded, the state security in Bielefeld is now investigating and, according to the police, also pursues concrete -couple -related investigative approaches. A vigil is organized by the Jewish community Herford-Detmold for Monday afternoon. In an earlier legal dispute, the Higher Administrative Court of Münster prohibited the demolition of the court synagogue for which the owner wanted to build parking spaces for his law firm.
