Shalom on the Rhine: Discover Jewish History in Mainz

The public tour Shalom on the Rhine at the Landesmuseum Mainz explores more than 1,000 years of Jewish life in Rhineland-Palatinate. The focus is on the SchUM communities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz, which became formative centers of Jewish scholarship, culture, and religious life in the Middle Ages and today hold special significance as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

From the SchUM Cities to the Present

The tour connects historical contexts with impressive objects from the exhibition. It shows how closely Jewish history is tied to the development of the Rhineland and what cultural impulses emerged from the communities along the Rhine. This creates a multifaceted picture of Jewish life between knowledge, faith, trade, and social exchange.

Memory, Exclusion, and New Beginnings

The discovery experience also leads to the dark chapters of local history. Traces of persecution, exclusion, and annihilation stand alongside testimonies of reconstruction and new beginnings. Touching biographies and historical exhibits make history tangible and open new perspectives on the coexistence of Jewish and non-Jewish societies.

Insights with Cultural Depth

As a knowledgeable city and museum tour, the event is aimed at everyone who wants to deepen their understanding of the cultural heritage of Mainz and Rhineland-Palatinate. The exhibition provides a concentrated access to historical developments, religious traditions, and the changing relationships between the Jewish population and their environment.

Conclusion

Shalom on the Rhine promises an impressive cultural enrichment and an informed view of Jewish life along the Rhine. Secure your ticket for the public tour at the Landesmuseum Mainz in advance, as the number of participants is limited.
