The opening as it read in 2010
White Stork Synagogue is a nineteenth century synagogue in Breslau , Germany (now Wrocław , Poland ).1The synagogue, which opened in 1829, is a three-story Neoclassical designed by architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans (1781–1869). Langhans was one of the foremost 19th century architects of Silesia . He was among Germany’s foremost theater designers. He also designed the Wroclaw Actors' Guild Theater and Opera House . The original interior, now lost, was designed by the painter Raphael Biow (1771–1836) and his son Hermann Biow (1804–1850). The main prayer hall is surrounded on three sides with women's galleries. Two levels of galleries to the north and two on the south flank a single gallery on the eastern Torah ark wall. The wooden frame of the Torah ark and the damaged tablets of the Ten Commandments are all that remain of the original religious features. The synagogue was in use until 1974 when the authorities expropriated it and gave it to the University of Wrocław , which used it as a library. In 1989, the University transferred the building to the Musical Academy . It was purchased by a private firm in 1995. It was subsequently returned to the Jewish community and was under renovation for over a decade. The renovations were completed and the synagogue rededicated in 2010. There are plans for the synagogue to be used as a Jewish Museum.2
