The project is a contribution of the Bavarian State Archives to the anniversary year 2021 Jewish life in Germany: https://2021jlid.de. The virtual exhibition tells the history of the Jews in the medieval Regensburg. What are the conditions for Jewish life in this important city? What relations existed between Jews and Christians? What professions did they practice and what social status did they have? As large as the number of sources is, so different are the topics they tell of. Certificates, seals, Hebrew manuscripts, pictures, maps, archaeological finds and other special pieces report from the Jewish Regensburgers. Digitalisate from the holdings of eleven cultural institutions allows to virtually take these unique sources and explore details. Six chapters show how the Jewish community of Regensburg has developed and why it is so important today. The Jewish quarter and its inhabitants are presented as well as their utility with everyday needs. Religi-on was the predominant element in the Middle Ages and this was also true for the Jewish community. What diverse activities Jews carried out, as they earned their living and to whom the Jewish community was in contact, are also exciting topics such as the rights and duties that Jews had in the medieval Regensburg. The Jewish community of Regensburg remained largely spared from the waves of persecution that the Jews of Europe were exposed to in the Middle Ages. At the time of her expulsion in 1519, she was able to look back on a more than 500-year history in the city, unlike most other Jewish communities. With over 60 exhibits in six sections, the virtual exhibition makes the medieval history of the Jewish community of Regensburg alive.
