Regensburg and his Jewish community in the Middle Ages

Tuesday, 26. October 2021, the new virtual exhibition “Regensburg and its Jewish community in the Middle Ages” was held in the Directorate-General of the State Archives of Bavaria. Cultural portal bavarikon open. At the ceremony, Minister of State Bernd Sibler, MdL, Dr. Ludwig Spaenle, Minister of State a.D., MdL, commissioner of the Bavarian State Government for Jewish life and against anti-Semitism, for remembrance and historical heritage as well as Ms. Ilse Danziger, Jewish Community Regensburg and Vice President of the State Association of the Jewish Communitys in Bavaria. Dr. Astrid Riedler-Pohlers, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, who drew up the exhibition, introduced the virtual show and presented selected exhibits. About the link www.bavarikon.de/judentum-regensburg is the exhibition from the 26th October 2021. The event was broadcast via live stream. 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. All exhibits, including 3D digitalisates, which are accessible for the first time, are shown in outstanding digital quality. The exhibition is under www.bavarikon.de/judentum-regensburg. bavarikon is the website of art, culture and national history of the Free State of Bavaria (www.bavarikon.de).
