Jewish Heritage - Jewish trails in the city

berlin-cityguide In the "Mitte" district you can visit the New Synagogue
which was built during the so called "foundation time".
This was the time of the foundation of the second German
Empire and it was when Berlin became it´s capital in 1871.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people streaming into
the city, there were tenthousands of Jews among them,
carrying good hope to be able to become a well accepted
part of the fast growing Berlin community.
The synagogue nowadays houses the Centrum Judaicum
and besides the temple, it has a museum about the
history of the building.
Very close by, there is the site of the former school of
Moses Mendelssohn, from where the ideas of the
Jewish Enlightenment ( Haskalah ) were spreading out.
Europe´s second largest Jewish Cemetery from 1880
is located in Berlin Weissensee and contains
approximately 115,000 graves.
In September 2007 the never destroyed Synagogue in
Rykestrasse was finally reopened again.
