Binswangen

Binswangen is a municipality in the district of Dillingen in Bavaria in Germany.

The town is a member of the municipal association Wertingen.

The town's 1836 synagogue, designed by Friedrich von Gärtner and notable as the first to use the horseshoe arch of Moorish architecture for windows and portals, was plundered in the Reichskristallnacht but not set ablaze because of its proximity to other buildings.

It was restored beginning in 1987 and since 1996 has served as a community center, open to visitors on Sundays.
