Frankfurt's Judengasse was once a widely recognized center of Jewish life in Europe, particularly known for its scholarship. Much of the material traces of this history were violently displaced from the urban space – only a vaulted cellar under the house at Staufenmauer 11 and the foundations of five houses of the Judengasse remained. How can and should public forms of memory of Frankfurt's unique Jewish history look like in urban spaces? What considerations and plans already exist for the historic area next to the medieval Staufenmauer? What are utopias for the future?
On these and other questions, the director of the Jewish Museum, Prof. Dr. Mirjam Wenzel, will speak with the city planning councilor, Prof. Dr. Markus Gwechenberger, the director of the Architecture Museum Peter Cachola Schmal, and the Dutch-Israeli architect Meitar Tewel.
