We are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Former Kriegshaber Synagogue as our second museum location with a summer party
In May 2014, the Former Kriegshaber Synagogue opened as the second location of the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia. After the renovation, it became a place of encounter, education and remembrance, which conveys and history in the Kriegshaber district and keeps it present. Since then, various special exhibitions insights into the history and culture of Judaism – both both in the region and beyond.
At our summer festival, children and adults can get to know the Former Synagogue during various short tours. You can also look forward to a colourful programme with live music. And there will also be plenty to eat and drink: you can enjoy delicious food and kosher wine in the garden behind the synagogue.
We look forward to welcoming you and to spending a happy and festive day with you!
