METAhub - Museum ­ Education ­ Theatre ­ Arts

METAhub Frankfurt locates cultural assets in digital space and makes them tangible in urban space. The project is based on a new form of collaboration between museum curators and dramaturgs with media artists.

At METAhub Frankfurt, everything revolves around places whose Jewish history has been overlaid in today's cityscape. We rediscover them and invite engagement with what is missing, through interventions in urban space, artistic positions, discussion events, tours, and much more. To document our project results and make them available for reuse, we have developed an open-source framework that allows us to centrally control multiple websites and apps and populate them with content for various target groups.

Interventions in urban space

Artistic projects

Open Educational Resources

The OER team develops modular educational materials that can be freely used, edited, and distributed: so-called Open Educational Resources. These teaching and learning resources are made available digitally, free of charge, and without copyright restrictions through METAhub. This enables dynamic use, adaptation, and further development of the materials to meet the specific challenges of today's (extra-)curricular education.

The goal is to make Jewish urban history visible and tangible in urban spaces again.

The target groups for the OERs are young people in secondary levels I and II, as well as multipliers such as teachers, social workers, and political educators.

The following focal points are at the center:

1. The history of Börneplatz as a contested site of turbulent German-Jewish history
2. The conflict over the settlement in the Frankfurt Judengasse in the 15th century
3. Life in the Judengasse and the early modern city
4. The preparation and follow-up of a visit to the Museum Judengasse
5. The Jewish Community of Offenbach and the development of modern Judaism

The Open Educational Resources are developed in cooperation with the Fritz Bauer Institute.
