Jewish Centre
The New Jewish Main Synagogue, the Community Center of the Jewish Community and the Jewish Museum on Sankt-Jakobs-Platz (also known as Jakobsplatz) form an architecturally balanced ensemble. It gives Jewish life in Munich, which was destroyed during the National Socialist era, a fitting place in the heart of the city once again. The central idea is to make visible the close interweaving of the Jewish Center with Munich's urban structure. The buildings and square symbolize the fact that Judaism belongs to Munich. The most striking building is the synagogue (see next stop). The community center opposite consists of several individual cubes and is modeled on the Amsterdam synagogues of the 17th century. The building also houses a school, a kindergarten, a youth center, a sports hall and a kosher restaurant.
