A short lecture will explain the location of the medieval Jewish residential area south of the cathedral up to the expulsion of the Jewish population and the establishment of the ghetto on the former city moat. The building history from around 1500 to the destruction of the synagogues by the National Socialists will be examined. The lecture will also address the destruction of the district by Allied bombing raids and the fundamental transformation of the cityscape up to the present. The subsequent walk will follow the traces of the former Jewish residential areas, leading from the former Judenmarkt/Börneplatz to the northern end of the former ghetto, and ending at the Golden Apple at Staufenmauer 11.
