The New Synagogue is a lovely new synagogue in Dresden constructed on the site of the historic Semper Synagogue, which was constructed in 1840 by Gottfried Semper and was destroyed during the Kristallnacht in 1938. The new synagogue, which was designed by architects Wolfgang Lorch and Rena Wandel-Hoefer in 2001, was shortlisted for 2003's European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture for its gorgeous off-center design elements, which are meant to convey the isolation of the Jewish community within the German city. Final remaining fragments of Semper's original structure are incorporated into the synagogue, which incorporates historic design elements into its new structure.
