    The Old Synagogue, with its oldest parts from the 11th century, is the oldest synagogue in Central Europe, which has been preserved up to the roof. In 2009, an extraordinary museum was built, where medieval testimonies of the Jewish community of Erfurt were made accessible to the public.

      Old synagogue
      The Jewish community of Erfurt becomes tangible to us from the late 11th century, as the first recorded construction of the old synagogue dates back to this time. Until the 14th century, the Jewish church was rebuilt several times and adapted to the needs of the growing community. The history of construction and use of the synagogue also reflects the history of the Jewish community.
      A tall, representative gable building was built around 1270, which still characterizes the appearance of the synagogue today.
