By 1931 worshippers were being attacked by paramilitary SA troopers and juveniles incited by anti-semites.
The synagogue functioned for only twenty four years until the Nazi authorities finally forced it to close in 1936.
The building was destroyed during the Kristallnacht pogrom during the night of 9–10 November 1938.
At the Beer Hall Putsch commemoration in Munich, Minister Joseph Goebbels had personally given the orders to smash the synagogue, at that time the largest in Berlin.
SA men broke into the building, shattered the interior, piled up religious objects, and finally set the synagogue on fire with fuel they got from a nearby filling station — in the presence of the fire department, which confined itself to preventing the flames from spreading to neighbouring houses.

In 1939 the property was seized in favour of the Deutsche Reichspost.
The remains of the building were again devastated during a 1943 Allied air raid.
