What a find! Unexpectedly, old walls were discovered during construction work in 1993. The medieval synagogue, first mentioned in 1317, had been buried for 550 years. Today you can see it above the market square under a glass cube: The remaining ruins of the ‘youngest’ of three buildings with basic dimensions of around 7 x 10 metres. Parts of the entrance area and the beginnings of a ribbed vault can still be clearly recognised. A preserved vault keystone shows a six-pointed star composed of flowers, the ‘Star of David’, as decoration. It is known from written sources that this building, known as the ‘Jewish school’, was demolished in 1452. Would you like to experience the medieval synagogue in its original state in the 14th century before its destruction? With pleasure! Then head to Markt 23, grab a pair of 3D glasses and experience the building that no longer exists. Guided tours on the topic of Jews in Marburg with a visit to the synagogue can be booked here.
