The Salmen is a contemporary witness and cultural monument of national importance. It has an ambivalent history: built as a festival hall, it became famous as a place of revolution with the proclamation of the 13 demands of the people on September 12, 1847, later used as a synagogue by the Jewish community of Offenburg until the National Socialists desecrated it during the Reichspogromnacht in 1938.
