This isn't my 1st card from Erfurt but it is the 1st showing one of the three monuments in the city classified as UNESCO WHS in 2023. The Old Synagogue, the Mikveh, and the Stone House illustrate the life of the local Jewish community and its coexistence with a Christian majority in Central Europe during the Middle Ages, between the end of the 11th and the mid-14th century.
The Jewish-Medieval Heritage of Erfurt was the only German site I was still missing. Thanks to Svenja, I've all the sites now, at least until the next meeting of the committee.

The Old Synagogue, with parts dating from the 11th century, is the oldest synagogue in Central Europe that has been preserved up to its roof. In 2009 an extraordinary museum and space was created here, in which medieval reminders of the Erfurt Jewish community can be viewed. Together with the documentation of the building history of the synagogue itself it provides an insight into the life of the Erfurt community, which in the Middle Ages held a prominent position in Europe.
The exhibition in the Old Synagogue shows the history of the first Jewish community in Erfurt. In the courtyard gravestones of the destroyed medieval cemetery can be seen. The building history of the synagogue is the subject on the ground floor. The cellar houses the treasure found near the synagogue, which a Jew buried during the pogrom of 1349. - in: https://juedisches-leben.erfurt.de
