The Salmen is a historical landmark and a “cultural monument of national significance.” It embodies an ambivalent history: built as an inn with a banquet hall above the stable, it became famous for the proclamation of the “13 Demands of the People” in 1847, and used as a synagogue by the Jewish community of Offenburg until the Nazis desecrated and destroyed the prayer hall on November 10, 1938.
