Displays on recent Jewish history in the 19th-century Rothschild Palais, plus a modern extension. Visit us at the Jewish Museum and immerse yourself in the Jewish history of Frankfurt since 1800. In the Museum Judengasse, you delve into the history of Europe’s oldest Jewish ghetto.
In 1987, when the city of Frankfurt sought to construct a new building for the municipal utilities, they encountered foundations of houses from the former Judengasse, Europe’s oldest Jewish ghetto. Following public controversies, a museum was established with a portion of the findings. This museum underwent a transformation in 2016, honored with the Museum Prize by the Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Hessen-Thüringen.
