Alte Synagoge

The Old Synagogue is a unique testimony to Jewish life in the Middle Ages and one of the oldest surviving synagogues in Europe. Built in the 11th century, it survived centuries of eventful history and was later used as a warehouse, dance hall and bowling alley. However, the Jewish community was wiped out in progroms in the 14th century. Today it houses a museum that sheds light on the history of Erfurt's Jewish community.
