History
The construction of a synagogue in Baden was projected in 1904. In December 1911, the Jewish community of Baden acquired a plot at Parkstrasse 17, in front of today's Grand Casino Baden,[2] for 23,000 francs. Several architects offered to design the building. Eventually, the synagogue was designed by Badener architect Otto Dorer (1851–1920) and his collaborator Adolf Füchslin (1850–1925).[2] It has large semi-circular windows and a richly adorned interior. The synagogue was consecrated on September 2, 1913.[2]
In 1931, around Yom Kippur, the façade of the synagogue was sprayed with swastikas.[2]
