In the Footsteps of Julius Ochs: From Fürth to New York

This guided tour for the 200th birthday of Julius Ochs connects Fürth's Jewish urban history with an impressive biography between Bavaria and the USA. On June 30, 2026, the discovery experience at the Jewish Museum Franconia in Fürth leads from the beginnings in Königstraße to a life path that reaches all the way to New York and the history of the New York Times.

A Life Journey between Home, Departure, and World History

Julius Ochs was born in 1826 in Fürth and left his hometown at the age of just 18. Triggered by the restrictive Jewish edict, which imposed tight limits on Jewish people in Bavaria, he began a journey across the Atlantic. In the United States, he found not only a new existence but actively participated as a teacher, officer, judge, rabbi, and government official in the young American society.

Fürth as the Starting Point of an Extraordinary Family History

The tour focuses on the Jewish Fürth of the 19th century and on the consequences of exclusion, migration, and new beginnings. Particularly impressive is the perspective on the legacy of the Ochs family: His son Adolph S. Ochs made media history as the publisher of the New York Times. Thus, a local city tour becomes a cultural-historical view of transatlantic networks, memory culture, and Jewish life paths.

The Jewish Museum Franconia as an Authentic Venue

The location at Königstraße 89 gives the tour special depth. The museum conveys the diversity of Franconian-Jewish life from the beginnings to the present in Fürth, Schnaittach, and Schwabach. For visitors, this offers a cultural enrichment with historical context, architectural atmosphere, and direct reference to local history.
