The
Die SYNAGOGEN-GEMEINDE KÖLN is one of the largest and oldest Jewish communities in Germany, with a membership of approximately 4,000 people (as of 2020) and a slightly lower current number of approximately 3,966 members (as of 2022)[2][5]. It is known for its rich history and its commitment to the community.
The main mission of the SYNAGOGEN-GEMEINDE KÖLN is to provide a strong and supportive community and to preserve Jewish culture and tradition. It places great emphasis on inclusion and community work, as demonstrated by the support of refugees from Ukraine and the advice given to Israeli citizens[1].
Although the SYNAGOGEN-GEMEINDE KÖLN does not pursue specific sustainability goals, it is strongly committed to promoting tolerance and combating antisemitism. It works with organizations such as the Bundesverband der Recherche- und Informationsstellen Antisemitismus (RIAS e.V.) to document and combat incidents of antisemitism[1].
Die SYNAGOGEN-GEMEINDE KÖLN is a central element of the Jewish community in Germany and plays an important role in the social and cultural life of the city of Cologne.
