Museum Judengasse
The Museum Judengasse in Frankfurt am Main offers a compelling insight into the history of one of Europe’s earliest Jewish ghettos. Built around the archaeological remains of five houses from the former Judengasse, the museum presents the daily life, culture, and resilience of Frankfurt’s Jewish community from the 15th to the 18th century. Through historical artifacts, personal stories, and interactive displays, visitors explore themes of religious practice, urban segregation, and cultural exchange. The museum is part of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt and serves as a memorial site, preserving the legacy of a vibrant community that shaped the city’s identity. Its exhibitions also address the broader context of Jewish life in Germany, including persecution and remembrance. Located near the Börneplatz Memorial, the Museum Judengasse invites reflection on coexistence, tolerance, and historical continuity. It is not only a place of learning but also a space of remembrance, bridging past and present through the lens of Jewish heritage.
Frankfurt am Main GermanyThe Museum Judengasse, part of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, is located at Battonnstraße 47 near Börneplatz in Frankfurt’s city center. Built upon the excavated foundations of five 15th-century houses from the original Judengasse—the first Jewish ghetto in Europe—it preserves and interprets the traces of Jewish life from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. The museum emerged after the 1987 Börneplatz excavations uncovered the remains of 19 homes, leading to a public campaign to preserve them; five were reconstructed on site and became the museum’s core. Reopened in 2016 with a redesigned exhibition, it tells the story of a once-thriving community of over 3,000 residents through archaeological remains, documents, and multimedia. The museum stands beside the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Börneplatz Memorial, forming a moving trio that connects Jewish heritage, memory, and modern reflection in the heart of Frankfurt.
