What brought me to Speyer was this very interesting small complex for whom, like me, is interested in Jewish life and culture. The Mikvah is wonderful, the museum is small but interesting and what remains from the synagogue gives an idea of how it could possibly look like in the old days. The entrance fee for adults as of august 2022 is 4 euros for adults.

The Jewish community here dates back over 1,000 years. Ruins of the old Jewish Community are fascinating. This is a must-see in Speyer.

This was an extremely interesting site with a very well preserved mikvah. The attendant was very helpful to get me a printed guide in English. It won't take long to see it, so be sure to go.

A very well preserved medieval mikvah (ritual bath) and a fragment, partly reconstructed, of the Romanesque synagogue, five tombstones recovered from their earlier desecration, and a modern statue honoring the "wise men" of Speyer.

We took a very brief sidetrip thru Speyer and I had read about this on the way but did not put on our short itinerary. We were headed back to our car and quite literally just came upon the entrance and decided to go in. So glad we did! This is a comprehensive, albeit brief, exhibit with a lot of information about the site and also the tumultuous (and sad) history of the Jews in Speyer. The ancient sites - especially the bathhouse - were very interesting.

With the oldest mikvah north of the Alps it is a must. The women's and men's walls and walking down into the mikvah from ground level is impressive.

We were staying in Mannheim for a few days and intentionally put Speyer on our list as a day trip. We wanted to see this medieval find- a synagogue and steps down to a ritual bath that was used by the women as early as the 13th century. The museum is small and interesting but its really the ruins outside you want to see. Its also here where displays tell you about the Jewish history in this area, how the synagogue was used. It was interesting to see the holes that were built into the walls so that women could hear the prayers by standing near these holes. Best of all though is taking the stairs down to the mikvah - ritual bath- where cold water is still there. Very interesting and worth the dash from the rain.

Judenhof is one of the most important Jewish medieval sites in Germany. Highlights of this site include a 13th century women's section, a Mikvah (ritual bath at ground level), and a small museum. This Jewish Community, population estimated between 300-400 people, existed in Speyer until the 16th century, but it is unknown why the community disbanded.
If you are planning to visit Speyer, I highly recommend visiting Judenhof. It is a very important historical site.

This is a fascinating view of Jews in this town since 1104 (yes, almost 1,000 years). There are remains of a synagogue wall, a well preserved mikva (ritual bath) and many displays, along with video in German, English and as I recall, French.
Very strongly recommended to help visitors understand experiences of Jewish people in this small town.
It is located 1 block from the main street on a street that is parallel to the main street). Very modest cost (3 Euros per person).

This was an unexpected place to visit on our city tour. But one that was remarkable to me. The tiny museum gives an overview that lacks the drama of seeing the ruins up close and personal. As you walk through the ruins and go inside them, you appreciate this community who have collectively saved these for future generations to observe. The passages to read on the walls and engraved in stone, whisper the history as best they can. It was humbling to step down the medieval stone stairs to view the baths. They are very wide and longer than any castle steps I had to maneuver on my trip. There are handrails as well, so don't miss this part of the tour. Brochures in every language are available, so there's no excuse to fail to understand the important historical place, this in the city of Speyer.
