Although the synagogue survived Kristallnacht without damage , it was acquired by the municipality after the war and converted into a fire station . Everything pertaining to its uses as a synagogue was removed or destroyed , a condition that continued until 2001 , when the synagogue was partly reconstructed . The Jewish quarter , which has had historical preservation status since 1996 , consists of numerous townhouses and mansions surrounding the synagogue . Along with the former '' Christengasse '' ( " Christian Lane " ) , renamed '' Marktstrasse '' ( Market Street ) , it forms the urban core of Hohenems
