=== Synagogue Project Stommeln ===

The [Jewish Community of Stommeln](/source/Jewish_Community_of_Stommeln) was documented in the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages); it was shattered in the [1349 Black Death pogroms](/source/Persecution_of_Jews_during_the_Black_Death), re‑established in the 18th century, grew in the 19th century, and declined until dissolving c. 1930. The last residents were deported in 1942; the [Stommeln Synagogue](/source/Stommeln_Synagogue) and the local [Jewish cemetery](/source/Jewish_cemetery) on Nagelschmiedstraße survive as memorial sites.

The Synagogue in Stommeln was built in 1882. It resisted the Nazi pogroms. Since 1991 there is an annual exhibition of an international artist.
