Old Synagogue Erfurt

The Old Synagogue in Erfurt is the oldest synagogue in Central Europe to have been preserved right up to the roof. This unique Erfurt treasure, comprising Gothic gold and silverwork, silver coins and silver tableware, as well as a Jewish wedding ring from the early 14th century, is on display here. The historic building, the manuscripts and the Erfurt Jewish Oath shed light on the history of Erfurt’s Jewish community in the Middle Ages.

Since September 2023, the Old Synagogue, the medieval mikveh (a Jewish ritual bath) and the ‘Stone House’ have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Old Synagogue is the first museum in Germany to offer video guides.

Level access to the entrance, ticket office, and lift; guide dogs permitted; disabled toilet.
