On Jewish Trails in Braunschweig: A tour that brings history to life
This tour opens a dignified space for remembrance, faith, and encounters. In the Jewish community of Braunschweig, Jewish life is not only told but experienced in the context of tradition, the present, and spiritual community. The event is part of the Jewish Culture Days between Harz and Heide and leads into a center of Jewish life, which today includes the synagogue inaugurated in December 2006 and the community center on Steinstraße.

Jewish Life in the Heart of Braunschweig
The synagogue on Steinstraße stands in a city history shaped by loss, remembrance, and new beginnings. It is the successor building of the house of worship inaugurated in 1875, which was destroyed in 1938 and demolished in 1940. The current synagogue and the community center form a place of religious practice, historical education, and pastoral continuity.
