<p>A regional security official said a suspect is being sought in what he called an attack.</p>
<p>Police in the western city said witnesses alerted them to the bullet holes on Friday morning.</p>
<p>They said no one was hurt, there was no danger to the public and they were looking into the circumstances of what happened.</p>
<p>A video police have may show a person firing at the door but they could not give more details because of the poor quality of the recording.</p>
<p>The interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, Herbert Reul, said “the attack on the old synagogue in Essen shakes me deeply”, German news agency dpa reported.</p>
<p>He said video recordings were being evaluated and police are looking for a male suspect.</p>
<p>The rabbi’s residence is not currently occupied by anyone but houses a German Jewish history institute, according to city authorities.</p>
<p>The old synagogue is now Essen’s House of Jewish Culture.</p>
<p>Members of the Jewish community worship at a new synagogue elsewhere in the city but occasionally meet at the old one for special occasions, such as commemorations of the November 9 1938 Nazi pogrom in which Jews across Germany and Austria were terrorised.</p>
<p>The old synagogue and rabbi’s residence were set alight during that pogrom, which was known as Kristallnacht — the “Night Of Broken Glass” — and their interiors were destroyed.</p>
