Jewish Museum and Museum Judengasse

The Jewish Museum Frankfurt was officially opened on 09th November 1988, marking the 50th anniversary of the infamous "Reichskristallnacht" ("Crystal Night"). It is at home in the monument-listed, classicist-styled Rothschild Palace, scenically situated along the River Main.

A new annexe is currently being added to Rothschild Palace, while the museum interior is also being restructured as regards content. Once completed, the Jewish Museum and the affiliated Museum Judengasse will better complement each other in terms of their show collections. Museum Judengasse reopened its doors to the general public in March 2016 after a period of renovation and reconstruction, focussing on pre-1800 Jewish history in Frankfurt. Scheduled to reopen in 2018, the renovated Jewish Museum at Rothschild Palace will cover the time from 1800 to present day.

Anne Frank Educational Centre

This educational centre was conceived as a place where people of all ages and walks of life would have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the history of National Socialism and its bearing on contemporary times. The focus of the educational centre is to follow Anne Frank's desire for a world without prejudice and hate. Its primary goal is the promotion of human rights and understanding between people, regardless of their origin, social status and way of life.

Jewish Adult Education Centre

The educational offers of the Jüdische Volkshochschule (Jewish Adult Education Centre) focus primarily on Jewish history and culture. However, it also offers Hebraic and Yiddish language courses, seminars on Jewish religious philosophy as well as cooking courses and dance classes, amongst other things.

Course registration takes place in the Jewish Community Centre.

Issac E. Lichtigfeld-School at the Philanthropin

In 1804, the Jewish community founded the Philanthropin, a school catering to Jewish children.

The school buildings were built in neo-Renaissance style. Courses were taught in separate boys' and girls' classes, following the then most recent pedagogic teaching methods.

This separation is also reflected in the decoration of the entrance portals, the boys' entrance featuring water sprites, while the girls' entrance was adorned with mermaids. From 1942 until war's end, the school was used as a reserve military hospital and emergency shelter.

It wasn't until 2006 that the building started to once again serve in its original function. Today, it is known as Isaak Emil Lichtigfeld-School and is open to pupils of all religious denominations, as it was in bygone times.
