One museum, two locations

The Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia is housed in two historical locations. At the museum location City Center, the permanent exhibition provides an overview of Jewish life in the city and region. The visitor can also tour the magnificent Great Synagogue, which is still in use today.

At the location in the former Synagogue Kriegshaber, a media guide offers interesting insights into the history of the oldest surviving synagogue in Bavarian Swabia. Currently, the exhibition “Yiddish. Jewish. Taitsch.” can be seen there.

About us

The Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia is a place where aspects of migration, integration, homeland and culture are discussed from a Jewish perspective and where it is shown that diversity is neither a threat nor a selling point, but simply a normality.
