Between Synagogue, Mikveh, and City History

The tour connects the most important stations of the Jewish Quarter with the history of a medieval community that has profoundly influenced Erfurt. The main focus is on the Old Synagogue, the medieval Mikveh, and the area around the Krämerbrücke. The Jewish Life Network Erfurt presents these sites as a cohesive historical experience and makes city history comprehensible at the historic location.

Insights into a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Special Radiance

Erfurt, with its Jewish medieval heritage, is one of the places where history remains visible. The Mikveh on the Gera, the Small Synagogue, and the Old Synagogue tell stories of faith, trade, neighborhood, and centuries of urban development. Particularly during the construction-related closure of the Old Synagogue, the free tour provides a strong alternative for guests who want to explore Erfurt culturally and historically.
