Dive into Jewish Fürth with Virtual Reality
This virtual journey opens an impressive window into the Jewish history of Fürth. At the Jewish Museum of Franconia, visitors encounter the former synagogue square, known as the schoolyard, and experience via VR glasses how significantly this place shaped the cityscape and religious life.
A Place of Exceptional Historical Depth
The schoolyard was the heart of Jewish life in Fürth for centuries. Here stood synagogues and a Talmud school known throughout Europe. The virtual reconstruction makes the dimensions of this ensemble visible again and takes us back to the atmosphere around 1900. Particularly impressive is the view of the Fürth main synagogue, the Altschul, built in 1617, whose history now only lives on in traces and memories.
History to Touch – Even Without Original Buildings
The combination of modern VR technology, museum communication, and local history creates an intense discovery experience. Following the digital tour, there is a short thematic guided tour through the museum and to today's memorial for the synagogue. Thus, the event connects memory culture with vivid city history and makes Fürth's Jewish past particularly understandable.
The Museum as a Vibrant Place of Learning
The Jewish Museum of Franconia is regarded as a central place for the conveyance of Jewish history in Franconia. The location on Königstraße combines historical building substance with modern exhibition culture. For visitors, this results in a culturally enriching experience that makes historical contexts understandable while still allowing space for individual discovery.
