Jüdisches Museum Augsburg Schwaben, Standort Innenstadt

Das Jüdische Museum Augsburg Schwaben wurde 1985 in der eindrucksvollen Augsburger Synagoge eingerichtet. Es versteht sich als historisches Museum, das aus der jüdischen Geschichte in Bayerisch-Schwaben heraus Bezüge zu gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Fragen herstellt. Eine Besichtigung der Dauerausstellung umfasst auch einen Blick in die prächtige, 1917 eingeweihte Synagoge, die von der Jüdischen Gemeinde genutzt wird.

Unser Standort in der ehemaligen Synagoge Kriegshaber, die älteste erhaltene Synagoge in Bayerisch-Schwaben, wurde 2014 eröffnet und zeigt in ganz besonderer Weise, dass die jüdische Geschichte Augsburgs nicht ohne die der Landgemeinden in Schwaben erzählt werden kann.

Getting around Augsburg is easiest by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus, all covered by the Deutschlandticket that is valid on local and regional transport across Bayern and beyond; parking in city centres is scarce and either paid or limited by Parkscheibe, so public transport or a bike is usually quicker than driving.
