Jewish Museum Gailingen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gailingen Jewish Museum in Gailingen am Hochrhein , a municipality in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg , is located on the first floor of the Bürgerhaus, the former Jewish school and community building that was built between 1845 and 1847 opposite the synagogue that was destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938 .

The museum, which is located at Ramsener Straße 12, is supported by the Association for Jewish History Gailingen eV

The Gailingen Jewish Museum documents Jewish history in Gailingen and on the Upper Rhine , but also takes into account the Jewish rural communities of Randegg , Wangen and Worblingen on a smaller scale .

The museum is supplemented by the preserved ritual bath ( mikvah ) in the basement of the building and the newly designed Leopold Hirsch Guggenheim Hall, in which cult objects and the furniture of the prayer room of the Jewish community in Kreuzlingen are exhibited.
