5 places in Cologne
The Kahlenhausen or Jews' Gate (Judenpforte)
A short-lived medieval gate in the north-eastern stretch of Cologne's city wall between the Eigelstein gate and the Kunibert tower, recorded in 1349 as the "porta judeorum" and no longer preserved today.
Deutz Synagogue
Religious centre of the Jewish community in Cologne-Deutz; the synagogue on Reischplatz, destroyed in 1938, is now a residential building with a memorial plaque.
Ehrenfeld Synagogue
A synagogue in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, consecrated in 1927 and destroyed during the 1938 pogrom – a mural and floor markers keep its memory alive.

Two successive Jewish houses of worship on Mülheimer Freiheit; the last was destroyed in 1938, and today only a memorial plaque remains.
