Video Virtual

In 1462 the Jewish community of Frankfurt was forced to move to a newly created quarter: The Judengasse was the first Jewish ghetto in Europe. By the early seventeenth century its population had grown to around 3,000. Frankfurt developed into one of the most important Jewish centers in Europe.

European Ghetto in Frankfurt

Just when the city of Frankfurt wanted to construct a new public utility company building in 1987, it discovered the foundation of several houses of the former Judengasse (Jews Lane)–Europe’s oldest Jewish ghetto. Public debate followed, resulting in part of the archaeological finds being made into a museum. This museum was redesigned in 2016 and awarded the museum prize of the Savings Banks Association Hesse-Thuringia’s cultural foundation.

Frankfurt Trail

Jews have lived in Frankfurt continuously for nearly 900 years, longer than in any other German city. They worked as merchants, bankers, politicians, philanthropists, artists and scientists. In 1949, after the National Socialist devastation, the Jewish community was reestablished. It now has some 7,200 members, half of whom come from the former Soviet Union. Along with Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf, Frankfurt is one of the four largest Jewish communities in Germany. Its many institutions include two kindergartens, the I. E. Lichtigfeld School in the Philanthropin, and the Senior Citizens’ Home, as well as a number of social services and programs for seniors. The community offers regular Liberal as well as Orthodox services.
