Det här kan du se fram emot

During the Middle Ages, the blossoming city of Frankfurt was known among Jews as the "Frankish Jerusalem“, home to eminent rabbis and scholars. In the course of its eventful and often violent history, Frankfurt's ghetto "Judengasse“ (jew's lane) grew to accommodate Germany's largest Jewish community until Jews were granted citizens' privileges and freedoms in 1796. During the 19th century, Jewish financiers such as the Rothschilds contributed increasingly and decisively to Frankfurt's economic and cultural advancement, the effects of which are relevant to this day. A walking tour takes you to the different Jewish sites of the city: from the cathedral, which remembers a time when Jews were protected by the emperor, to the cultural institutions sponsored and supported by the community, to the museum "Judengasse“, which offers a comprehensive illustration of the cramped community life, the medieval revolts and pogroms, the 19th-century emancipation and the murderous persecution of the Nazis. The tour also offers a look at the site of the former main synagogue, the old cemetery Battonstrasse and the "Börneplatz“-memorial.
