Jewish Museum Frankfurt

[2] In addition, the museum has an extensive library as well as a document and photograph collection related to German-Jewish history and culture.

After the Second World War they served as the main site of the municipal and university library, and later as an outpost of the Historical Museum.

The archaeological finds gave rise to a controversial debate as to how these witnesses of Jewish history in Frankfurt should be handled.

The conflict resulted in a compromise: five of the unearthed house foundations were dismantled and reconstructed at the cellar level of the new administration building.

The Museum Judengasse borders both on a memorial site for the Frankfurt Jews murdered during the National Socialist era and on the second oldest Jewish cemetery in Germany.

To commemorate the 650th anniversary of the Golden Bull of 1356, four museums in Frankfurt organised an exhibition called Die Kaisermacher ("The Emperor-Makers") from 2006 to 2007.

The Museum Judengasse contributed archaeological findings, documenting in particular the role played by the Jews of Frankfurt as the Emperor's servi camerae regis.
