Frankfurt's Judengasse was once a widely recognised centre of Jewish life in Europe and was particularly known for its scholarship. Most of the material traces of this history were forcibly removed from the urban space - only a vaulted cellar under the house at Staufenmauer 11 and the foundations of five houses in the Judengasse have been preserved. What can and should public remembrance of Frankfurt's special Jewish history look like in the urban space? What ideas and plans already exist for the historical area next to the medieval Staufenmauer? What are utopias for the future?
These and other questions were discussed by:
- Prof Dr Mirjam Wenzel (Director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt)
- Prof Dr Marcus Gwechenberger (Head of Urban Planning)
- Peter Cachola Schmal (Director of the German Architecture Museum)
- Meitar Tewel (Architect)
- Prof Alfred Jacoby (Architect)
