Jüdisches Museum Augsburg Schwaben

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. Due to the renovation of the synagogue complex, the city center museum site will close on November 2, 2026, for several years.

We’ll stay open!

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. From the early 18th century through the 20th century, it served as the center of Jewish life just outside the gates of Augsburg. It’s only a 20-minute bus or tram ride from the city center.
