Bavaria’s Jewish Heritage
Embark on this Bavaria Jewish heritage tour of three historic Bavarian cities—Regensburg, Bamberg, and Nuremberg. Discover centuries-old stories of resilience, faith, and cultural contribution as we explore traces of medieval communities, former synagogues, cemeteries, and sites of Jewish life, both past and present.
In Regensburg, explore the history of the only Jewish community in Germany to have lived in the same location for 600 consecutive years. In Bamberg, delve into the city’s lesser-known but deeply rooted Jewish presence by visiting the former medieval Jewish quarter of this ecclesiastical city. As you walk through Bamberg’s three historic quarters, follow the modern art trail dedicated to its Jewish residents and learn why the Star of David is part of the local beer branding.
On a visit to Nuremberg, reflect on contrasting narratives—from its medieval Jewish community to the city’s tragic role in Nazi history—by visiting the Nazi Rally Grounds and the Alley of Human Rights.
Throughout this Bavaria Jewish heritage tour, engage with personal stories and living memory.
