It's official! Following the decision of the World Heritage Committee in Riad on 17th September 2023, Erfurt's Jewish-Medieval heritage is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In the largely intact historic old town of Erfurt, unique architectural evidence of the important Jewish community from the period between the end of the 11th and the middle of the 14th century has been preserved. These include the Old Synagogue, one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved medieval synagogues, the Medieval Mikveh, which was built in the 12th century, and a Jewish secular building from the 12th and 13th centuries, the so-called "Stone House".
