Frankfurt's Judengasse was once a widely recognized center of Jewish life in Europe and was particularly known for its scholarship. Most of the material traces of this history were forcibly removed from the city - only a vaulted cellar under the house at Staufenmauer 11 and the foundations of five houses in Judengasse remained. What can and should public forms of remembrance of Frankfurt's special Jewish history look like in the city? What ideas and plans are there already for the historical area next to the medieval Staufenmauer? What are utopias for the future? These and other questions were discussed at an event on March 22, 2024: Prof. Dr. Mirjam Wenzel (Director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt) Prof. Dr. Marcus Gwechenberger (Head of Urban Planning) Peter Cachola Schmal (Director of the German Architecture Museum) Meitar Tewel (Architect) Prof. Alfred Jacoby (Architect) METAhub Frankfurt was funded by the Kultur Digital program of the Federal Cultural Foundation, by the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain and by funds from the Department of Culture and Science of the City of Frankfurt am Main. Unboxing Past was realized with the kind support of experimente#digital, a cultural initiative of the Aventis Foundation. https://metahubfrankfurt.de/
