In July 2021, the cities of Worms, Speyer and Mainz were awarded the title of World Heritage Site by UNESCO for their ShUM sites. The cities are considered the cradle of Ashkenazi Judaism. Discover the Jewish monuments in Worms and their significance for the cultural heritage on this guided tour. You will visit the oldest preserved Jewish cemetery in situ in Europe, the ‘Holy Sand’, as well as the former Jewish quarter in the Judengasse with the synagogue. The monuments illustrate Jewish life in the city and, together with the religious tradition, the solidarity of the ShUM communities in every respect.
