Jewish Worms

Jewish Cemetery and Synagogue

The most impressive features of the Jewish Worms of old are the Jewish cemetery, the former Jewish quarter with the synagogue and its mikvah, its ritual bath. The Jewish Museum, based in the community’s former Dance and Marriage house, today’s Rashi House, gives the visitor an impression of the history and culture of Jews in Worms.

"Little Jerusalem"

Boasting a range of unique testimonies of a moving history of Christian-Jewish coexistence, Worms still enjoys considerable fame with Jews around the world as the "Little Jerusalem" of old. Between the year 1000 and the dark times of Nazi terror, a Jewish community had been living here without interruption, and despite all demolitions and hardships, there are still many places telling the story of these Jews.
