Jewish Life in Bamberg: History, Remembrance, and Present at the Historical Museum

The exhibition Jewish Life in Bamberg at the Historical Museum Bamberg presents a multifaceted city history marked by medieval traces, conflicts, expulsion, new beginnings, and the profound disruption of National Socialism.

Traces That Become Visible

The curated presentation focuses on those material and spiritual remnants that are only fragmentarily preserved. This is where its power lies: Archaeology and historical research are condensed into an exhibition that not only informs but opens spaces of memory and places cultural education at the center.

Erika Löbl and the Personal Dimension

A particularly moving focus is the diary of the Jewish student Erika Löbl. Her writings from the late 1930s give a direct voice to the historical narrative and make exclusion, loss, and flight comprehensible from a personal perspective. This creates an intense access to anti-Semitism, racism, religion, as well as flight and asylum.

Museum Education and Learning

For schools and groups, the Historical Museum offers an educational program that is aligned with curricula and integrates the exhibition into various subjects and learning contexts. Public and bookable tours also deepen the perspective on Jewish traditions, forgotten and rediscovered testimonies, and the Jewish history in Bamberg.
