The Neue Synagoge was constructed from 1859-1866; it was one of the most beautiful buildings in Berlin at the end of the 19th century. The building was planned by architect Eduard Knoblauch and Friedrich August Stüler. The synagogue was inaugurated in 1866 in the presence of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. The cost of the construction was 705,000 thalers, an inconceivable sum. The New Synagogue was one of the few to survive Kristallnacht (the night of November 9th-10th, 1938), when a Nazi police officer there declared that the synagogue is a protected historic site, and he drew his gun, declaring that he is defending the law requiring its protection. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the process of restoration began, continuing from 1988-1993, at the end of which the facade of the building and its dome were restored, but the original sanctuary was not restored.
