In the case of a damaged window in the synagogue of the Jewish community in Hanover, the investigation is ongoing. Police officers had searched the entire area, a spokeswoman for the Hanover police department told the Evangelical Press Service (epd) on Friday: "It was a very intensive search." But so far no object has been found that caused the hole in the mosaic window. There are also no traces of throwing or shelling. Nevertheless, the municipality wants to significantly strengthen its security measures.
It is still unclear whether it was a man-made event at all, the police spokeswoman said. A window can also be broken by a bird, a chestnut or a branch. "We're investigating in all directions."
On the other hand, the police cannot rule out an anti-Semitic crime. Therefore, the state security took over the investigation. According to the municipality, the damaged light-blue mosaic pane has now been removed in order to examine it forensically.
Visitors to the service on the highest Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, were startled by a loud banging on a window in the women's gallery of the synagogue around 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening. An object fell at about head height there, reported the chairman of the community and Jewish state chairman Michael Fürst to the epd. A mosaic pane the size of an A4 sheet of paper was broken on the stained glass window. Nobody got hurt.
The community suspected an anti-Semitic attack and immediately alerted the police. A patrol car had previously posted itself at the entrance to the synagogue to guard the service. The incident was reminiscent of the attack on the synagogue in Halle three years ago, also on Yom Kippur. Numerous politicians and religious representatives assured the Jewish communities of their solidarity.
Fürst announced that the community wants to strengthen the fence around the synagogue in the coming months, raise it to three meters and lead it around the entire Jewish cultural center. In addition, the electronic security systems, including the cameras, are to be extended to other sides of the building complex. The safety glass should also be strengthened. "That's already ordered." In addition, the community wants to redesign their entrance area. Work is expected to start next year.
According to the prince, the state government has provided the 19 Jewish communities in Lower Saxony with a total of five million euros for security measures in 2022 and 2023. All sides agreed on this a few months ago. Nevertheless, he is sticking to the goal that the synagogue will continue to be open to visitors in the future, said Fürst.
When asked by epd, the Ministry of the Interior stated that the fight against anti-Semitism was a particularly high priority for the state government. This also includes the protection of the synagogues, explained a spokeswoman in Hanover: "With the attack in Halle, the protective measures at Jewish institutions were increased and the police authorities were asked to actively contact them accordingly." This also includes technical advice on security issues.
The research and information center for anti-Semitism in Lower Saxony counted a total of 131 anti-Semitic incidents in 2021. These included two physical attacks, eleven threats and 21 damage to property.
