Alfred Jacoby (born 1950) is a German architect and architectural lecturer, principally known for his output of synagogues in post-war Germany,[3] development of a modern Jewish religious architectural vernacular,[4] his teaching positions as a lecturer and professor of architecture, and his active architectural practice in Frankfurt am Main. Jacoby was born in Offenbach, in 1950, to a Polish father, and was educated at the University of Cambridge and Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule. Credited with being the first postwar architect in Germany to develop a distinctive Jewish vernacular for synagogue buildings,[5] he is recognised as Germany's leading synagogue architect.[6] Jacoby was Director of the Dessau Institute of Architecture at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Bauhaus Dessau,[7] from 2000 until 2017.
