The Maribor Synagogue is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in Europe. Since 2011 it has been known as the "Maribor Synagogue Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage". Jews have been mentioned in Slovenia since the 12th century, and they have been living in Maribor since at least 1274. They were mainly involved in money lending, banking and trade and had strong economic ties with Prague, Dubrovnik and Venice. The Jewish community thus played an important economic role in the development of trade and commerce. The synagogue in Maribor was first mentioned in a document dated November 4, 1354. On the orders of Maximilian I, all Jews had to leave the country by January 1, 1497. The old synagogue was then no longer used by Jews for more than 450 years. It was converted into a Christian church and then became private property in the 19th century. The building thus survived Nazi rule unscathed. Since April 2001, the renovated building has housed a cultural center.

The restored Maribor Synagogue is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in Europe and the most important monument of Jewish culture in Slovenia. The building, which is over 700 years old, is now a cultural institution where you can visit exhibitions, concerts, literary evenings and lectures. (visitmaribor.si)

The Jewish communities in Europe, whose centuries-old tradition is often only documented by commemorative plaques or monuments, were honored - especially in these difficult times with rapidly growing, openly expressed anti-Semitism - by awarding the "International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen" to the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and the Jewish communities in Europe.

"In recognition of his outstanding work for peace, the self-determination of peoples and European values, for tolerance, pluralism and understanding, and in recognition of his significant commitment to interreligious and intercultural dialogue, the Board of Directors of the Society for the Award of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen in 2024 honors the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and together with him the Jewish communities in Europe. With this award, the Charlemagne Prize Board wants to send a signal that Jewish life is a natural part of Europe and that there must be no place for anti-Semitism in Europe. Jewish life is an important part of European history and the present - now and in the future. (...) Together with the President of the Conference of European Rabbis, Chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, and the Jewish communities in Europe, the Board of Directors of the Society for the Award of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen in 2024 is honoring the outstanding representative of European Jewry and Jewish life in Europe, which has enriched our continent for centuries and will and must always have its place here."
