Public tour on Jewish life in Bretten

Visit the historical gravestones at the Jewish Cemetery and gain fascinating insights into the history of the Jewish citizens of Bretten. Jewish life in Germany has existed for about 1700 years. And in Bretten? Jews settled in Bretten quite early, but particularly in the late 17th century. Cattle markets, trade, religious life, and much more shaped the coexistence between Jews and Christians until the Nazi era. Many houses in the city center can tell stories of their former Jewish owners. Although Jewish life was extinguished with the deportation in 1940, the very beautiful cemetery remains. This tour provides insights into the life and work of the former Jewish population.
